When looking for that "special someone", some people will try anything and everything.
Quite a few people have tried new approaches at this, and there are a lot of happy couples out there because of these novel ideas.
One of these ideas is called a 'chatline'.
A chatline is a wonderful service that helps people find dates (most of the time).
It's a service by telephone in which users can participate in discussions with new people.
It's almost like a phone version of an online chat room! This is a good choice for you if you are not internet-savvy, don't feel comfortable going into chat rooms, want to meet people in specific areas, or just like being on the phone.
There are three different kinds of chats that are the most popular.
1.
Free service and trials.
Some chatlines are free for anyone who use them and do not charge any types of fees for using their services.
A few of them, however, offer free use of their services to women only, (marketing tactics: how do you bring something useful to your business? Offer a free "gimmick" and people will come!) and men have to order a package deal.
2.
Trial features.
Great if you're only looking for one night of phone chat.
They will give you a free trial of their services, and in exchange, if you liked it, you can choose to sign up for a membership or a package.
3.
Commercial service.
Nothing is free on these except the recording that tells you you have to buy a package or membership.
If you are choosing to use a singles chat line, or a dating chat line, it's almost always the same to begin your journey to speak with other people.
You will call the number, choose whether you want a trial or package (on the ones that specify this) and then it will forward you to your "mailbox" or "greeting", where you record a message saying a little bit about yourself.
This allows other people to chat with you if they are interested; likewise, you can listen to their messages and choose who you want a conversation with.
Normally, you have to wait for approval from the other person to talk to them; to do this, you can either record a specific message to be sent to them directly, or you can ask for a live chat with them.
As with anything when dealing with strangers, you must always be careful.
The dangers on the phone are still as real as in person.
Even if you have good intentions on the chatline, that doesn't mean everyone does.
The problem with chatlines, also a blessing, is the anonymity.
You do not know who you could be talking to.
Chatlines are very convenient for people who aren't able to go out and meet people, whether you're low on time, money, don't have a way to go, or just too tired to get all dressed up to go out.
The best thing some people have noted about chatlines is the fact that you don't see the other person at all.
This gives everyone the same chance, instead of Person A's eyes being drawn only to a certain physical feature of the opposite/same gender.
There are other types of chatlines, also: psychic, hotlines for help, customer support, the list goes on and on.
So if you're home one night, and are up for trying something new, go ahead and try a chatline; you may be surprised.
