$15,000 to $50,000 to hook up you up with the right person. And FOX
News re****ted that professional matchmakers across the country are
charging up to $15,000 to pair people up. Instead of paying so much
money, try starting here and see how you do with some of these tips.
ONLINE DATING - Seek out a reputable online dating service. Begin by
asking friends, co-workers and other you may know who have tried
online dating, and see which places they recommend. Also, head to your
favorite search engine and type in "online dating services" to see
which ones come up. Start a journal or notebook and log your progress.
Write out the URLs or website links and do some research: list fees,
rules and regulations, complete contact information of the site and
any other useful information that you run across. Then begin slow. If
something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and STOP.
COMMUNICATION - Go slow and don't try to share every tidbit of
information about yourself over night. Keep away from subjects that
you don't agree upon. When communicating via email and other
electronic means (chat rooms, forums, etc.) don't use all upper case
letters (that's called "shouting"), slang or your personal address for
safety. Do use a firewall and anti-virus software to keep your
computer safe, too. Key in "online safety tips" and check out online
