After trying several other sites without any great success, I decided to try Zoosk. I wasn't crazy about the Carousel feature as it was based solely on appearances and didn't give the option for further in-depth look at the person without choosing to "like" or "unlike". However, after a little while I was able to give the carousel the boot and dive into the pool of potential dates using the chat function. I soon discovered it was a good idea to push for a date during the first encounter, since the chance of getting another chat going was slim. If you're looking for a site that force feeds you options and potential dates, I would look elsewhere. If you know what you're looking for in a potential date and don't mind a little work and persistence, then give this try.
