Dating site, should I pay £25 to read message?

I've received a message and been put on a favourite list on a well regarded dating site, Datingdirect. Only one problem, they seem to have binned all their cheap membership offers, so I'd have to pay £25 to read the message.

Thing is, I've just made £230 on a gambling loophole, so I could regard this as being for free. However, I'm not wanting to spend money for no reason.

Hmm, maybe that answers my own question? If I was that keen I'd do it without thinking.

Nah, I resent having to pay £25 to join to read one message and maybe send another.

I dunno. Online dating is crap really.
I'm off to bed, luckily I'm not allowing myself to make a decision whilst drunk.
Happy chappy
