I've been on this site for couple weeks now and it's not free. Once you have started a chat with someone they all start the same, Hey there, then it's automatic. They give you the link to another site and want to to go there. If you don't, then that's it. Chat is finished. Seems to me that the due only promotes a variety of other sites. And when you are really interested in someone you get blocked by the company until you pay. It's bogus if you ask me.
