Click here to watch the TEDTalk that inspired this post. When I saw that Gary had called, I was thrilled. Since going on one Match. Usually, these were sporadic and at odd hours. With heart palpitating, I played his voicemail message. It said: "Do you want to go to lunch and a movie tomorrow?

I was wondering if you could help me with something that has been playing on my mind recently. It recently transpired that my boyfriend of 15 months has been looking at girls on a dating website that he used to use before he met me. At first, he replied that he has a couple of times, and then when I was unsure whether he was being honest, I asked again and he then said a couple of times a week. He reassured me that he was not going on there to look for girls, but just to look at their pictures. I told him that I found this a bit weird that he is going on a dating website to look at other girls, when supposedly he is in a relationship with me. I told him how it really upset me and how disrespectful I found it, especially as it was a dating website. After this all came out about him looking at dating sites, he seemed to take this all back and reminded me that he is heterosexual.

So you're looking for love, just like millions of other Australians. But where exactly should you be looking? Do free online dating sites offer a good service at the right price? Our investigation looks at key things like price, privacy, and demographics and found that online dating scams are rife, and some privacy policies and terms and conditions are riddled with disturbing provisions. Free sites can be a good, low-commitment way to start, but they do come with strings attached: often, you can't access full profiles or all the features of the site which is the case with eHarmony. Some free sites can be quite light-on in the details department so you have to make a dating decision almost solely on appearance Tinder is notorious for this. Sites like eHarmony have more detailed search criteria but the paid version will yield a narrower search, giving you matches you're more likely to be into.
