OKcupid? He apparently has terrible aim. And plentyoffish? That pond is full of carp. And datehookup is yielding poor results so far. Does any one else know any other FREE sites? Not just free to look around but actually send and read messages for free?

And aspies and aspie lovers, where did you meet your one and only? I have no male coworkers and no car to get to the college every week. And I'd be embarrassed to try the comic book store as one of my trivia team mates works there. Where else should I look?

My mom said Lowes should be crawling with men, but when I went it was a ghost town. When should I go?

For a partial list of free dating websites, try http://www.alldatingwebsites.com/dir/free-datingsites/ .

Free dating websites tend to attract a lot of scammers, spammers, fakes, perverts and jerks (of both genders). A pay-wall screens out some (but not all) of them, but some of the paid sites are run by unscrupulous people who try all sorts of tricks (such as sending you messages from fake profiles) to get you to pay for their services. There is not a perfect solution. The best advice I can offer is to try several websites, but only two or three at a time and only for a few months at a time, and take frequent breaks from the whole process.

(For a few more reviews see http://dating.about.com/od/sitereviews/ ... eSites.htm .)

The other thing you can try is meeting people with whom you share an interest, http://www.meetup.com/ .

Okcupid is about as good as you're going to find. Everywhere else is very loosely moderated to inflate the user numbers as much as possible, so you're going to have a million Nigerian dudes trying to get you to send them money.

Unfortunately, online dating seems to mostly just be a waste of time.
