Thousands of Internet based dating sites claim to be free, but only a select few are totally free, meaning that all services are available to all members.  Totally free online dating sites are supported by advertisers and Google Adsense, will not ask you for credit card information, and are the very best starting point for anyone who is looking for love, romance, companionship, dates, sex, marriage, same-sex partners, affairs, or even the darker side of human relationships.

Here are 17 tips and strategies to work totally free dating sites like a borrowed mule:

1. Join as many sites as you can that have the type of partner you are searching for.  The Internet has opened the world to dating.  You are as likely to find your future wife in Moscow, Kiev, or Beijing, as you are in New York or Miami.

2. Create a dynamic profile with your true interests and desires in a partner - but NOT your actual identity, especially if you are a woman.  A killer headline is critical.  If a pen name worked for Mark Twain, it can work for you.  Protect your identity from the crazies out there until you have found the perfect match.

3. Don’t rush and don’t settle.  Take your time and contact as many persons of interest as you can.  With literally millions of possibilities, keep searching until you find that perfect mate.  The profiles will get you past the initial compatibility issues.

4. Browse profiles to find the look and common interests you desire.  Online dating eliminates the pain of random pickups in bars to only find out the woman you met has 3 childen and 2 husbands that died under mysterious circumstances.

5. If the potential contact you see is pretty good, decent, cute, has potential, or meets your past mental image of the type of person who would also settle for you - pass.  You settle at the neighborhood bar at 2:00 am after a couple of pitchers of beer.  Work the free dating sites to find a woman younger, prettier, and sexier than you can find at home.

6. Use all of the technology the site has to offer.  How do you let the other person know you are interested?  Do you have a favorites folder?  Can you send an email or contact by instant messenger?  Webcam chat?

7. Follow the online dating site rules.  For enhanced security, the site might want all emails and IM to pass through their servers.  The dating sites have bots that look for suspicious activity.  If someone is trying to contact you by moving you off-site, ask yourself why.  If a site is free, why not use their bandwidth?

8. No third party approvals needed.  Understand that you will meet more potential matches on free sites than on paid membership sites.  Paid services often act like old time matchmakers and will only fix you up with potential partners they think are a match for you.  Free sites let adults be adults and make their own decisions.

9. Check the site for all of the services available to help you save time.  Many will send you email alerts if a new member matches some basic criteria like age, gender, height, weight, race, and more.  Free attracts a larger variety of people you could never meet any other way.

10. If you are looking for an exotic, international mate, online dating takes place 24/7.  I’m sorry, ladies, but when a man dies and goes to heaven, he passes through Bangkok first.  That’s as close as a man will ever get to heaven on earth.  Just remember, when it’s late evening for her in Thailand, you are having your morning coffee.

11. No need to commit to one dating site.  Join as many as you can keep track of.  Some sites have a huge turnover in signups and profile deletion.  Check each site about once a week for new members.

12. Shy men and women will benefit immeasurably from online dating.  No more awkward pick up lines or fear of saying anything at all.  You already know something from the other person’s profile before your first contact.

13. Online dating is the perfect way to meet others in cities you travel to on business, or where you might be moving in the near future.  What better way to get to know a new town than to have your first date lined up before the moving truck shows up.

14. It sounds wierd, but free sites protect your ego.  Some of the big paid sites reject applicants for reasons they don’t disclose.  If you lack self-confidence in offline dating, how is that for a kick in the teeth?  With free dating, you don’t have “loser” stamped on your forehead.

15. While many people don’t think about social networking sites for dating, they are fast becoming an alternative to free online dating.  Once you meet someone you want to know better and let them into your life, invite them to join you on Facebook, MySpace, or Bebo.

16. If you are looking online for local dates, always make that first real world meeting in a calm, public place.  Choose a Starbucks over a bar.

17. Free means free.  It doesn’t mean free trial.  It doesn’t mean free to look but pay to contact.  Bottom line:  free sites are your best choice for finding your perfect partner.  Work these hard and fast, and you will not be alone for long.
