Hi @sam4472. I don't have any experience of match.com but wanted to clarify that starting a relationship with someone shouldn't impact your benefits. It's only if you were to look at moving in together that they could be impacted. 

Have you thought about looking at local groups or activities in your area? It can be a great way to meet people, make friends who share similar interests, and maybe find a special someone.

Thank you for clarifying that with the benefits it will make my decision better with signing up with match.com soon from sam

Hi @sam4472 have you tried other dating sites that don't charge like Facebook dating or bumble and tinder 

I would think first about paying for sites like match.com

Hi @sam4472 I can see that you've already had some good advice on online dating. You may find it helpful to read these tips on staying safe while trying out online dating or dating apps (RAINN), too. 

Do you have any particular hobbies or interests?

Hello @sam4472! 😊 Welcome to the community. 

That’s a good question. Personally I have never been on online dating sites. I can’t imagine why starting a relationship would affect your benefits. I guess a good starting point is to find things that you have in common with someone and maybe that will make you feel connected.

Just be yourself and go for it! Good luck
