Internet dating: new sites to check out

Internet dating has fast become a popular means to meet others.  Sites exist for singles, couples, swingers, cheaters, gay, lesbien, bisexual; I'm sure you have heard of them all.  Or so you thought.  I have found a few interesting dating sites that are reaching out to a particular population.  Maybe you have missed something in life by not joining one of these groups.

My favorite site so far has been Cougarlife.  I'm not quite to cougar age (I'm 37), but I do fancy a younger 20 something man.  I would be happy to join this site!

For those who are quirky or have a particular fetish and feel all alone you may find a potential partner in Extreme Restraints Dating.  This site boasts that you may explore your hidden fantasies.  I poked around this site a bit (its free to use) and discovered there are some real hotties with fetishes I have never even imagined!  I think I have found something new that interests me.

I found several dating sites for people with STDs.  Some had unfavorable names such as STD Friends or  Match STD (maybe it just bothers me) and one I found called Positive Singles (this feels a little better).  I must admit its that I think its a great idea for dating sites like these.  The reality is many people have STDs so why not be able to date openly as well?

The site that puzzled me the most was Amish online dating.  I grew up in the midwest where there was a sizeable Amish community.  From my understanding most Amish do not have electricity, computers, or internet service. I don't understand this.

What about your dog or your cat?  Don't they need lovers too? Log on to Date My Pet and find the perfect match even for your turtle, mouse, or even yourself.  This site matches not only pets, but their owners too!

I found tons of other dating options.  Dating for music lovers, dating for tattooed singles, date a fellow book lover, find a partner who is 420 friendly , or find and date fellow car lovers.  There really is something for everyone!
