Paid senior dating sites provide more options than a free sites and are much easier to use. Your security and privacy are equally assured on paid sites compared to free senior dating sites, in which the service may sell your information and data in order to raise money and keep the site free. OrchidRomance is a dating site for a specific kind of audience that consists of Western men and single Asian ladies who want to date foreigners. If you are drawn to Asian women, OrchidRomance is exactly the place you need. Instead of having a huge audience that is hardly relevant to your tastes, OrchidRomance has a smaller but highly active.

Online dating between Asian ladies and Western men has been a growing romance trend and there are numerous services that promise to connect you to the most eligible Asian singles. OrchidRomance.com is one of those services, and today we are taking an in-depth look at everything this site has to offer with our OrchidRomance dating site review.

Our first impressions

Unsurprisingly, OrchidRomance.com does not allow you to see any women’s profiles, let alone contact them, as a guest. You will need to create your own account for that. Signing up for OrchidRomance is both quick and easy. At the first stage of the process, you will need to supply the usual dating site data: your name, email, date of birth, and password. OrchidRomance does not require you to immediately confirm your email, and you can do it later at a more convenient time.

Creating your profile

After the first step of the registration process, you will be able to tailor your profile, tell the site more about your preferences, and choose your profile picture. OrchidRomance allows you to skip some or all of the questions, but completing the questionnaire will increase your chances of finding the right woman and will make your profile more visible and attractive to the girls of OrchidRomance.

The audience of OrchidRomance

OrchidRomance is a dating site for a specific kind of audience that consists of Western men and single Asian ladies who want to date foreigners. If you are drawn to Asian women, OrchidRomance is exactly the place you need. Instead of having a huge audience that is hardly relevant to your tastes, OrchidRomance has a smaller but highly active audience of women from China, Vietnam, Korea, and a few other Asian countries. The majority of girls on the site have never been married and are between 20 and 35, but there are some women who are older than that and have some marriage experience or even kids of previous marriages.

How to look for your matches

The women of OrchidRomance don’t make a lot of first steps, so you’ll need to be proactive if you want to discover your ideal match. Right now, you have two options to try. The first one is a great feature to try when you are feeling lucky. It’s called Faces and it displays 20 randomly selected women’s profiles for you to check out. However, the feature you will probably use the most is the search, and it gives you plenty of opportunities to describe your ideal partner.

Contacting the women on OrchidRomance

To us, one of the best things about OrchidRomance.com is its variety of contact options. Unlike many other services where you can only chat with the ladies or exchange letters, OrchidRomance provides you with a variety of communication features. The most popular contact methods on the site include:

• sending a wink
• initiating a chat;
• writing a letter;
• exchanging photos and videos;
• sending bouquets and gifts.

Prices offered by OrchidRomance

You don’t need to pay anything to sign up for OrchidRomance or browse the female profiles, and you can even send out the winks for free. However, most communication features on the site are paid ones. On OrchidRomance.com, you pay for everything using credits, and the price of each service is clearly listed in the FAQ section of the site. For example, 1 minute of chat costs 2 credits, and reading a letter from a lady costs 2 credits. New members are entitled to 20 bonus credits, and once you spend them, you can choose one of the following credit packages:

• $19.99 for 50 credits;
• $44.99 for 125 credits;
• $69.99 for 250 credits;
• $149.99 for 750 credits.

Safety and customer support

Maintaining the security of both female and male members seems to be a priority for OrchidRomance. One of the first things you see after signing up for the site is that most of the girls on the site are validated. It means that they provided an official ID and they are actually the women behind the profiles. Whenever you have a question or a safety concern, you can check the FAQ or address the customer support team, which is available within a couple of clicks.

Pros and cons of OrchidRomance

Pros:

• high-quality, active female audience;
• lots of contact features to choose from;
• you know exactly what you’re paying for;
• professional and helpful customer support.

Cons:

• customer support doesn’t always reply immediately;
• no mobile apps available to download yet.

To sum up

If your ultimate goal is to meet an Asian woman for all kinds of relationships, OrchidRomance is one of the first services you need to try. We agree with most OrchidRomance reviews claiming this website is a great place to meet your Asian match. It’s well-designed, cost-effective, and, more importantly, popular with single Asian girls looking for Western men.

In the last year, COVID-19 has made online dating sites even more indispensable for the single set. It has been hard for singles to meet potential significant others, since going out and being social is discouraged during the pandemic. But with an online dating website, you could try to get to know someone online through emails, texting and video chat. Then, if you were both assured that the other was being safe, you might try to meet.

But you can still meet that special someone during a pandemic, according to Amy Schoen, a professional life, dating and relationship coach in Rockville, Maryland, and the founder of the website Motivated to Marry. 'You can meet people through socially distant meetups,' Schoen says. 'I've had clients meet people through outdoor activities like archery and axe throwing. You can go to parks, hike, play tennis or some of the more socially distant sports.' But Schoen also endorses trying to make connections digitally. 'I recommend online dating sites as part of your dating plan,' she says.

But what online dating websites should you try? Deciding what type of online dating website is right for you is a little like finding the right partner. What you think is a great dating site, others may hate. Read on for a list of some of the best free dating sites that you may want to try. Keep in mind that not all of these websites are purely free -- some have free components that are worth your consideration. Here are some of the most popular free dating sites:

-- Tinder.

-- Bumble.

-- Match.

-- OurTime.

-- OKCupid.

-- Plenty of Fish.

-- Facebook Dating.

-- Hinge.

Tinder

With this popular app (also available on desktop), you can simply swipe through profiles -- albeit with scant information on each potential match. As you look at photos, you can select a heart icon or an X; alternatively, you can swipe to the right if you like a profile or swipe to the left if you don't. If you like somebody who also likes your photo, then you'll be alerted that you have a match, and you'll be able to message your potential date. While the app is free, you can pay for Tinder Plus (around $9.99 a month if you're under 30, or $19.99 if you're older) and Tinder Gold (around $29.99 per month, depending on your location and age), which offer additional features, such as a rewind button that enables you to update your selection if you accidentally swiped the wrong way.

Bumble

Similar to Tinder, Bumble enables users to find a match by swiping right if you like the person or left if you don't. The major differentiating factor is, for heterosexual couples, the woman must send a message first. Conversely, with same-sex couples, either person can initiate contact. There's also a premium service that can screen your matches for certain qualities or criteria, like level of education. Prices vary from $7.99 a week to $32.99 a month, or you can pay $199.99 for a lifetime subscription of the premium service.

Match

While Match.com's full services aren't free, it belongs in this list because it's a well-known website that offers a free 72-hour trial period. You can set up a profile and search through profiles for free, but if you want to contact the person, you'll have to pay for the service unless you're still in the free three-day trial period. Still, at least you can determine who you might want to contact if you do pay for the service, rather than paying for a service and then hoping that there are some people you'd like to meet. As for the prices, they vary. For one month's access to the site, you'll pay $35.99. But you can get longer plans that last anywhere from three to six to 12 months. You'll fork over more money at once, but you'll pay less per month (i.e., $19.99 for three months).

OurTime

As advertised on their many TV commercials, OurTime is for people 50 years old and up. Like Match.com, OurTime is a paid service. While it isn't free, you can browse profiles for free, and that is worth something in the online dating world. The last thing anybody wants is to pony up money for a dating site, put up a profile and then look around and find out that the nearest potential person you might be interested in is 300 miles away. As for the prices, they vary, but you can expect to pay about $35 a month, with the price dropping considerably if you sign up for the six-month plan.

OKCupid

This popular dating website and app is free, allowing you to browse profiles and reach out to anyone you want to connect with. That said, you can pay for premium services, and those premium services can make the site a little easier to navigate. For instance, with the paid version, there are unlimited likes and no outside ads. You can also see who 'likes' you before you like them. However, with the free version, you don't know who has clicked 'like' on your profile unless you also 'like' them. Prices vary.

Plenty of Fish

Plenty of Fish, as its name suggests, features a wide selection of dating profiles. It is free, but you'll probably find it far easier to use if you pay for the premium services. Prices vary, but you can expect to pay $12.90 a month for three months or $6.78 a month for 12 months. You can send and receive messages for free; the premium membership is an ad-free version that allows users to search more easily, using filtering options such as education and income.

Facebook Dating

Facebook recently entered the dating scene with Facebook.com/dating. You can set up a dating profile, which won't be shared with anyone outside of the Facebook dating app. In other words, your friends and family on Facebook won't be able to see that you're a member of Facebook Dating. As an added bonus, you can use your Facebook profile to automatically fill in your profile. It's only available on the Facebook app on your phone and not on the Facebook website. It's completely free.

Hinge

Hinge is only available on your phone and not on your desktop or laptop. It is a free site, but like all of these sites, you can navigate the site more easily if you pay for its premium version. Prices vary for the premium version, but it starts at around $19.99 a month, and then the price per month goes down after that if you get a three or six month membership.

Tips for Dating in the Age of COVID

Acamea Deadwiler, based out of Las Vegas, is the author of 'Single That: Dispelling the Top 10 Myths of the Single Woman.' She points out that because of COVID, something is lost by not going out to dinner or the movies -- and one should think carefully about how they're starting a relationship.

'Instead of going to a movie theater, you're streaming movies and inviting people to join you on the couch. Instead of meeting at a bar, you're allowing someone you may have just met into your home for cocktails,' Deadwiler says. 'So those initial 'getting to know you' steps in the dating process are being skipped and you may end up dating someone exclusively by default or getting serious with someone more quickly than you normally would.'

She points out that inviting somebody you don't know well into your home too soon isn't just potentially unsafe -- it 'accelerates the relationship's progression.' She says that there's the risk that the pandemic forces you into a dating bubble where you're seeing one person instead of perhaps seeing several people and having one relationship form more naturally.

'We've had more free time than ever over the past year,' Deadwiler says. 'It hasn't been much of an inconvenience to fit someone into your schedule. Just because you're spending a bunch of time with someone doesn't mean they're 'the one.' Ask yourself if they're someone you would've pursued a relationship with in the pre-COVID world.'
