They say that to know a counterfeit from the real thing you don’t study counterfeits – you study the real thing – then when a counterfeit shows up – you recognise it instantly!
This same principle applies if you are recommended a service or product by someone else – since they have actually tried it and studied it personally – and they KNOW it’s legitimate – they have found and recommend the real deal.
So what dating sites do I know for a fact are safe and trustworthy and not just out to get hold of your bucks? Mine for starters; www.fusion101.com – a totally free Christian dating service and site that is run for people and healthy Christian marriages – not for profit. It currently has over 355,000 Christian singles profiles worldwide and hundreds of marriages under it’s belt.
I would also recommend Match.com for folks that have spare cash – and a few of the paid Christian dating services like ChristianCafe.
I would not recommend POF – I have had several bad reports about that site. But most alas – and as expected are just in it for the dough.
