Successful Singles even goes so far as to announce that it is not an online dating site, instead proclaiming itself to the "the premier social introduction service in Boston." Photo © highwaystarz - FotoliaRemember how we said there were sites that cater to every demographic slice imaginable? Well, here's one that specializes in New England, a locale that can be a little forbidding and frosty to the uninitiated.įittingly for a site in a region that cherishes its history and traditions, Successful Singles has been around since 1984, which is not quite the Colonial Era but actually predates the Internet as we know it. We're not saying these are the best sites for you - that's something you need to decide for yourself - but like examining puppies or seaside condos, looking can be half the fun. Many cater to individual tastes - there are sites for gays, Jews, Christians, equestrians, millionaires, Hispanics and old white people. Like people, they come in all shapes and sizes. No one really knows how many there are but the answer is somewhere in the thousands. One thing's for sure - there's no shortage of dating sites. What it comes down to is that there are risks in everything so as long as you take the obvious precautions - don't meet strangers in dark places, don't send money to someone you've never met and don't reveal all your personal information in a single gush - online dating is probably less dangerous than crossing a busy street or trying to clean out your gutters on a windy day. But the same is true of just about any other method of meeting people. You could meet people you don't like, people who don't like you, people who are boring or even downright dangerous. Just like other means of meeting candidates for romance, dating sites are fraught with peril. They're not perfect but they're better than ordering brides by mail or submitting to your mother's idea of who your perfect match is. But as a review of literature stretching back to cave drawings will tell you, meeting - and hanging onto - the right person isn't all that easy.
