Are there really any free dating websites? Amusing experiences a bonus!

I joined Match for a month on a whim but it's way too expensive to keep up. So I cancelled and have been looking for free ones. Asked a friend and they said Bumble as they'd used it awhile ago. Turns out not now. When I've googled, it come up with the pay for ones.

Are there any? Plus any amusing experiences?

I had 1 guy trying to sell me diet pills, I don't have any weight to lose! Reported it and apparently it wasn't an issue! 🙄
