How much should I pay? Do the expensive ones offer anything better? Or am I being a bit desperate and the right person will turn up anyway?<,/p>, Should I join a dating agency? I broke up with my partner more than two years ago. Bored with being single, I'm thinking of joining a dating agency, but I've no idea where to start. How can I tell which are good and which are rubbish? How much should I pay? Do the expensive ones offer anything better? Or am I being a bit desperate and the right person will turn up anyway? You get back what you put in. Most sites offer free trials to check out other members and joining fees are not prohibitive, eg £10 to 15 per month. Invest energy in your profile, include photographs and avoid dwelling on the past. Proactively contact members. You get what you invest. Set some ground rules about who you contact or respond to and how you will interact (emails at 1am may not convey the message you want). Be discerning about who you meet and try a time limited meeting in a public place. Avoid focusing on the right person and consider the internet as a virtual pub or cafe, a place to make new contacts or a way of exercising that part of yourself that is mothballed when you are in a relationship. Anne Scott, London, who wins this week's £25 National Book Token. Hobbies come first. Two years without a partner is nothing, I've spent my first 32 years as a singleton. I play piano, do partner dancing for exercise and cook my own meals after a day at the office. I tried a couple of the free internet dating sites and didn't find anyone of interest, as they were only interested in television reality shows. My hobbies come first and if I find a partner through them then at least we'll have a common interest. Mark Bell, Wetherby. Wedding bells. Join Dating Direct, it worked for us. We're getting married next year! It's the best £30 we ever spent. Chris and Rose, Preston. Be proactive. What's desperate about being proactive? You wouldn't expect a job, career or house to simply turn up. I spent an inspiring year dating like-minded men through Guardian Soulmates after my break-up, giving me confidence, excitement and a new partner. OK, he wasn't one of my dates, but he may only have noticed me because I was looking elsewhere. Saroj Nelson, London. Meet interesting people. Internet dating agencies are a good idea, but ensure your expectations are low from the beginning. See it as a new way of meeting interesting people and if you meet someone special it's a bonus. Most people expect to instantly meet the partner of their dreams, but it's just as unpredictable as real life. Match and DirectDating are probably the best in terms of good people. Udate probably works better if you read the Sun rather than the Guardian. And yes, internet dating worked for me! Lars Nils Knullsson, email. House proud. We are in our 60s now and met through Soulmates in the Guide five years ago. On Saturday mornings we sit and read the Guardian in the garden of the home we have bought together. Susanna C Greenwood, Norfolk. In love, naturally. I joined Natural Friends. You don't have to be an earth mother and their membership was very reasonable. You can also browse members' details before joining. After meeting several likeable guys, I met my life partner. Obviously there is no guaranteed outcome, so it's important to go with the agency you trust. As for being desperate, the stigma is much less than it was. Louise Wearne, email. Get out and about Firstly, make sure you are happy with your life as it is. Dating will not cure" any problems or personal issues. Secondly, get out as much as you can. Join anything that may interest you, contact every friend in your address book and say "yes" to every reasonable invitation. Thirdly, research your ideal way to go looking - agencies, internet, speed dating etc. Be prepared to develop some understanding of what you are looking for in a date, which will help avoid unnecessary spending. Janice O'Neill, Stockport. Holiday with other singles Go on a singles holiday. At least then, even if there is no one you fancy you are sure to find someone you can get on with and have a laugh, and you're having a holiday into the bargain. I went on three or four singles holidays - on the first one I met a man I went out with for two years and had a great holiday sailing in the Aegean as well. Alex Bardswell, Dorset. Whale of a time When I was single in the early nineties I had a whale of a time meeting scores of men through dating agencies. However, it was very expensive, some were better than others and not necessarily proportional to their cost. I met my partner more than 10 years ago when I answered his ad in the Guardian Soulmates feature.
