Free singles chat rooms aren't as prevalent as they used to be. Now, people tend to use social media and online matchmaking websites where you can meet friends of friends as well as cute, single strangers. However, there are still a few chat rooms left where you can join a group of people and flirt as much as you'd like.

Seven Singles Chat Rooms

There are several sites where you can chat with other single people online. Some sites allow you to chat for free with the option to upgrade for access to other features while others are completely free. The more involved the registration process the slower the chat rooms seem to be, though speed could vary by location, day of the week, and time of day.

Cupid

Cupid doesn't just have chat rooms for singles looking for love and flirtation, the site also has tips for meeting the right people, chatting safely and relationship advice. There are over 7,800,000 members registered at Cupid, so there's definitely a lot of potential to find someone you really enjoy. The challenge could be running across the right person at the right time since the chat room option tends to be quieter than one might expect on a site with so many users.

This site shouldn't be confused with the matchmaking site, OkCupid. While you can chat for free at Cupid.com, there are also subscriptions available to people who want to use additional features on the site. Cupid also offers instant messaging chat. Registration is required to access the chat rooms for flirting. Expect a lot of email from the site unless you change your settings or unsubscribe from the mailing list.

When you sign up, you'll be asked for your email address, gender and the type of person you're looking for. You'll also be asked to share a few details about yourself, like your favorite way to spend a weekend. You can add a profile picture if you'd like to, but it's not required. It doesn't take long before you're encouraged to update your account. Some of the best reviews are associated with the site's free app (which does include in-app purchase options), Cupid Dating. Cupid Dating is a local and international matchmaker that allows instant chatting. With tons of reviews, the overall score is 3.8, with a little more than half giving the app a five-star review.

Chat Avenue

Chat Avenue is a free and pretty active international group chat site. There are several options for singles: Singles Chat, Gay Chat, Dating Chat, Adult Chat, and Lesbian Chat, to name a few. You can also add video and audio chat into the mix in almost any of the rooms. Mobile chat is also available if you want to use your cell phone or tablet. You don't have to register or sign up.

Chat Avenue is an old school chat option, complete with moderators who make sure everyone stays safe. These chat rooms have a 1990s feel to them, in that they're fairly basic and easy to get into and offer a refreshingly simple design. Though some of the chat rooms are labeled teen-friendly, these rooms seem to be best for ages 18 and up because some users may post erotic comments, and the rooms are only loosely moderated. Reviews at Easy Counter have comments about the wonderful graphics and how it can be a nice place to chat. Norton gave it an "OK" in its safety rating regarding viruses, phishing, and spyware.

InstaChatRooms

InstaChatRooms, an international site, lets you pick a username, say whether you're male, female, or a couple, and then wander right into a group chat. There isn't a mobile or app version of the site. It may feel like walking out into the wilderness, not being sure what you'll find. That's because you're just typing in a name and falling into a room with a random group of people. This is nice if you prefer to leave things to chance rather than fill out a full profile that will direct you to certain people the algorithms think you'll like. This site also has that retro 90s feel to it and offers dating, adult, lesbian, gay, college and other types of chat rooms. The chat room is one of the slower ones, with few members present at any one time, but that could be the perfect situation for striking up a meaningful conversation with someone new. Chat Reviews gave it a 5.0 (out of 5.0), and reviews mention "loads of genuine people" and note that it's a "great way to meet people."

Stranger Meetup

The name Stranger Meetup sounds dangerous and maybe even a bit intriguing. You can chat anonymously with a stranger you're randomly paired with as soon as you click to chat. There's no logging in or registration required for chats like this, and a chat is a single click away once you're on the main page. The site notes that because there is no software to download, it's perfect for those who are on older computers that may not run as quickly. Keep in mind, this is chat only. You won't be able to share pictures or video chat, although you will be able to connect with people from around the world.

The idea behind this site is to be able to remain anonymous and have a judgment-free conversation with a stranger. However, if you want to set up a profile, you can give yourself a name other than "Stranger," see others' screen names and even request a photo of someone you meet. If you're chatting with someone you like and have to go but hope to continue the conversation at another time, you can become friends on the site. This requires you to have an account which is quick and easy to set up. Once you have an account, Stranger Meetup will also keep track of your recent chat partners, so even if you forget to add a friend as you're leaving the conversation, you can still contact the person again later. Stranger Meetup can be downloaded as an app for iOS and Android devices.

Scam Adviser gave this site a 93 percent trust score and marked it as safe with regards to scams, phishing or viruses, but of course, always exercise caution when chatting with complete strangers.

Flirt.com

Flirt.com, an international site, starts out by gathering information about your gender, sexual orientation, where you live, your birthday and your email address. You have to verify your email address before you can get started. Chat room names include Flirting, Gay & Lesbian, General, Meet Me (to find locals) and Naughty but Nice. You can also use this site on your smartphone for flirting on the go. In addition, you can see how many people are in each room before joining one.

This site seems to have some of the most active chat rooms, so expect to have other users winking, sending private messages and greeting you as soon as you log in. SiteJabber gave Flirt.com three out of five stars and reviewers have reported meeting their significant others on the site. Some reviewers claim there are fake profiles on the site but as long as you don't upgrade to the paid features and chat with caution, you don't have much to lose except the amount of time you choose to invest.

WireClub

WireClub will take you straight into a chat room with a variety of people from all over the world. The room's name is "Dating," but you'll see a variety of topics covered within the group. You can also create your own group and invite others to join if you'd like to privately chat with someone. You'll have to sign in with your email address and password before you can contribute to the conversation. There's the general Dating room, but don't miss the rooms created by other users that may be more specific to what you're looking for such as age range, personality type or sexual orientation, for example. Before you ever click to enter a room, you'll be able to see how many other users are there, so if a group is too big or too small for you, you can continue your search without wasting time. There is no mobile version of the site or app available at this time.

FreeChatSites.net has positive things to say about WireClub, including maintenance by three staff members and a group of volunteers, special steps taken to keep your information private and the banning of people who troll, bully, spam, post vulgar content or attempt to steal other users' information. ScamAdvisor gives the site a trust score of 100 percent.

RendezvousChat

RendezvousChat is another straightforward group chat option for singles all around the world. It's active without having hundreds of members competing for attention. Just come up with a username and prove you're not a robot by typing in a code and you'll be ready to chat. No additional registration steps are required. Online and mobile chat options are available as well as audio/video chat. If you like spending time at Rendezvous, you can create a free account, but you don't have to. This site prides itself on offering privacy for users taking part in video chats. ScamAdviser gave it a high trust rating with a score of 100.

Chatting and Flirting Online

Chatting online can be an enjoyable way to spend some time, whether you prefer to fill out a profile and have the option of additional features, or you just want the old-fashioned random chats with no frills. Perhaps you'll stumble into a room at the same time as your future Mr. or Mrs. Right, strike up a conversation and live happily ever after. No matter what type of flirting and dating experience you're after, you can still find it in free chat rooms. Remember to follow general Internet safety guidelines and be aware of social networking dangers no matter which chat room you find yourself in.
