Yes. Joining, making a profile and browsing are free. You need a membership to read and reply to messages, and you see the options before you pay anything. - How do I know people are real? Every photo is checked by a person. Members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge, so you can see who has proved who they are. - Do Connecticut singles mostly date in New York? Some do, but plenty would rather meet someone closer to home. Connecticut Dating helps you find people in your part of the state, from Fairfield County to the Quiet Corner. - Is New Haven a good place to date? Yes. Downtown is walkable, the Yale University Art Gallery is free, and Sleeping Giant is a short drive away for an outdoor date. - What are good date ideas on the Connecticut shoreline? Walk the boardwalk at Hammonasset Beach in Madison, visit the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, or spend a day at Mystic Seaport. Check seasonal hours before you go. - How do I report someone who asks for money? Stop replying, use block and report on the site, and report the scam to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and the FBI at ic3.gov. Connecticut residents can also report it to the Department of Consumer Protection at CT.gov/DCP.
