by Contributing Writer

Overview

Online dating has revolutionized the world of relationships. You can easily be matched with potential dates and mates who share your interests and goals. There is a bevy of dating sites available, including free sites. Your computer, however, may block particular sites if it deems them harmful. If you suspect that your computer is blocking free online dating sites that are indeed safe, you can easily take steps to unblock them.

Step 1

Open your web browser. Whether you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer, select "Tools" from the top menu.
Step 2

Click "Options" if you are using Firefox and go to the "Content" tab.
Step 3

Choose "Exceptions," which is located to the right of the "Block pop-up windows" box in Firefox.
Step 4

In the "Allowed Sites" field, enter the URL of the dating site you wish to unblock. Your Firefox browser should no longer block the dating website.
Step 5

Select "Turn off Pop-up Blocker" if you are using Internet Explorer. As many free dating sites feature numerous pop-ups, Internet Explorer may be blocking such sites. By disabling the browser's pop-up blocker, you should be able to view the dating sites properly.
Step 6

Use a site-unblocking tool. Sites like Thunder Unblock and Rocket Unblock help you gain entry to blocked websites. Simply enter the URL of the dating website into their systems. Click their appropriate "Unblock Me" buttons to gain access.
