by M.D. Superfine

"I began to wonder if it was really possible to meet someone with whom I could spend the rest of my life. I can now say, without doubt, yes it is!!"

Not everyone can say that, but many believe their chances would be much better online. The trouble is: can you find a free online site to get started? Where do you go online, especially if you don't live in the U.S., the U.K., or Canada? What if you live in Australia or New Zealand? Can you find 100% free online dating sites in Australia/New Zealand?

Actually, the person who wrote the beginning statement of this article found just such a site.

RSVP in Australia

RSVP, the online dating site she used, is the largest in Australia. It's a great place for singles to meet, judging from the testimonials. It currently has more than 960,000 singles registered as members, and offers many great services.

1. You can search through the online dating site's profiles 2. You can email other members 3. You can chat online 4. You can access the online dating service from your mobile phone. 5. You can become a member FREE. 6. You can send another member a FREE 'kiss' - an expression of interest. 7. You can respond to a 'kiss' FREE, letting the member know if you are keen to receive follow up correspondence. RSVP's fee structure is an interesting twist for an online dating site. They sell "stamps" that can be used to mail contact emails. One "stamp" lets you send one email to one profile. Once you send or receive an email, you get unlimited free contact with that person for 30 days. Naturally, use of RSVP is not limited to singles in Australia. New Zealand singles also get involved. After all, it isn't that long a flight.

Is "Free" Really What You Want?

While 100% free online dating sites can certainly be an attraction, it is advisable to research what they do NOT offer as well as what they DO offer. The old saying usually will be valid with online dating, "You get what you pay for." So before you sign up, ask these 7 questions.

1. Does this online dating site provide a "doubleblind" emailing system that conceals true email addresses?

2. Does this online dating site protect all of your personal information?

3. Do you have the option of running a background check through this online dating site?

4. Is it possible, at this online dating site, to block and report any member who behaves in an abusive manner?

5. Will there be provision for group dates at this online dating site?

6. If you use this online dating site, will you have to sacrifice quality searches because they can't afford the programming or staff?

7. Are you prepared to meet all of the people who would not use online dating if they had to pay for it? Free online dating sites attract a lot of people who are not serious.
