Over a drink in the pub at the weekend I was a little shocked when a friend of mine mentioned she had signed up with a dating agency. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s cool and I hope she has fun and who knows maybe finds her mister right. It was the membership fee which left me sitting with mouth agog….£700 to arrange a few dates….have these dating agencies not heard of the credit crunch???
For anyone on the lookout for love, here’s a couple of cheaper suggestions which might be of interest if you’re eco-minded or veggie. First up, Ethical Singles is a relatively new site designed exclusively for people who hold ethical issues such as human rights, animal welfare and environmental sustainability close to their hearts.
Another matchmaking site which has been going strong since 2003 is Veggieromance and as the name suggests is the place to find vegetarian and vegan singles. Members receive their own blog and there is an active forum for networking and connecting with like-minded single people.
There is a small membership fee with each but you never know you might find the perfect match or you might just meet some really nice people on the way, either way it shouldn’t break the bank and you’ll still be able to afford a date if you strike it lucky!!
