There are now hundreds, if not thousands, of dating sites out there -- with more springing up all the time! But unfortunately, many are simply not worth joining.
Let's face it, the online matchmaking game really is a “numbers game”. And those numbers have to be in your area -- or at least not too far away from it. There's little point in paying to join an internationally run singles site -- even a large, well known one -- if there aren't many Australian members. (And even ones with quite a few Aussie singles can be a waste of money. Remember, they'll be spread all over the country.)
That said, there's no harm in joining one of the completely free dating sites. Most are international, but there are some uniquely Australian ones. If you join a few, you're bound to get some response.
But if you're serious about making contact with people in your area, and soon, you should look for locally run dating sites that have huge local membership bases and excellent customer service. The established Australian general and adult dating sites listed below certainly satisfy these criteria.
They are three of the biggest and best sites of their kind without a doubt! You can find find people seeking casual or long term relationships, intimate encounters, love, romance, marriage - you name it! They have lots of active members in the major cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth and some smaller population centres are surprisingly well represented. They have active community and singles events listing sections, too! All are free to join with various upgrade options.
Have fun, and good luck!
