Are Dating Sites Trustworthy?

Tuesday June 19, 2007

According to a recent poll conducted at ChristiaNet.com, some are - but most aren't.

Of the 313 respondents in the poll, 134 stated they were leery of dating sites in general because of past negative experiences, while another 122 responded that dating sites were not trustworthy. Only 57 of those polled from the faith-based site answered they did believe dating sites are trustworthy.

Still, finding a safe dating personals site shouldn't be a challenge for singles looking for a mate online, as there are numerous companies now catering to this concerned marketplace. Take, for instance, True.com, whose front page proudly proclaims, "We can't guarantee criminals won't get on the site, but we can guarantee they'll be sorry if they do."
