At the bare minimum, you may choose these two options that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):

Protect Yourself
Take care of yourself, as well, by choosing suitable dating sites. Search and choose a good online dating service. How? Start by inquiring around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which websites they suggest. Moreover, search “online dating services” and keep a pocket book of their URLs or website url links, the fees, rules and regulations, full contact details of each and all other useful information that spikes your curiosity. After that evaluate each place. Attempt only those websites that you feel safe. Keep away from the others.
So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- together with the right equipment and knowledge!
