 Ok, I Like What I See, Now What?
With so many dating sites out there, you may be a bit hesitant to crack open the wallet for just anybody. Match is one of the world's largest dating websites, and lucky for you, there are a number of ways you can use it for free.
Simply go to Match and fill in your basic details on a welcome screen (are you a woman or a man, are you looking for men or women, age range, and your zip code). You'll then be asked for your email and will get a message in your inbox. You can now begin using the site for free. Create your profile, upload photos, and browse singles.
Want to enjoy the benefits of being a Match member without committing to a monthly cost? Sign up to receive promotions to your inbox. You'll be able to choose a 7-day free trial by entering payment details on the site. If you don't cancel your trial, it will renew automatically at the subscription price at the end of the 7 days.
For the duration of the 7-day trial period you will receive the benefits of a paid membership as well. You'll be able to chat with other singles, send and receive messages, see who's viewed your profile, and attend Match events held in your area. In addition, you can catalog the users that you liked and filter out those who weren't to your liking.
Now that you've taken Match for a test drive, if you want to extend your 7-day free trial, just allow it to renew at the end of the 7 days. Alternatively, you can renew manually on the sign-in screen by clicking "subscribe" and picking a subscription plan that works for you.
Match is an industry giant that has become a synonym for online dating. The company has a wealth of subscription plans to offer and a proven track record in mass-scale matchmaking. And the best part? You can try it out for free, without making a commitment - until you're ready.
