   Every day, more and more individuals ask me questions about dating apps or how to find the person they seek online. Sometimes, finding that person can be hard! Maybe you can't find them in the small town you're from, or maybe you're looking for someone completely different than you. It doesn't matter why you haven't found them yet, what matters is that you're ready to be in a lasting relationship.

You don't want to meet someone and then get cut off because you didn't know you had to pay after a week. And believe me, I have seen it happen a few times.
