Online Dating
Compare some of the online dating sites to find the features that fit your style!
You probably know how this works, but, in case you're new to computers, if a word is in a different color, it means you can click on it, and it'll take you to a new page to review the site. From the reviews, all of the sites open in a new window, so you can browse around without losing us. Or, better still, put us into your favorites list now!
These are general interest dating sites; special categories are located on the buttons at the left, and, as we broaden the categories beyond those, they'll go into "Worldwide." Happy hunting!
Match.com is the best-known of the online dating sites. That's good if sheer numbers are what you're looking for, but it also makes it hard for you to stand out, so make sure to use your best photo and catchiest ad. Some of their features include "MobileMatch," letting you flirt via cell phone, and the custom compatibility match lets you compare your personality with those of other singles in your area. They also host live singles events throughout the country. Why not get in on the fun? Or, read the full review here!
We have a full review of Cupid Junction here. One of the fastest-growing sites, Cupid Junction offers a free profile and photo post to new members. They have three "communities" from which to choose--or play in all of them; dating, romance or intimate. With their own private phone system for premium members, you can have a private chat, and their "notifier" is a cool feature that lets you know when you have new matches or messages.
If you like technological wizardry and the idea of paying as you go instead of committing to a membership, then Lavalife is your hot ticket. Geared to the young, energetic, and up-to-the-minute hip set, their upbeat membership will keep you interested and on the go. Get the details in the full review by clicking here.
For a solid, easy-to-navigate site, Date.com has it together. They've gotten the basics down right, and boast 50 marriages in the last 12 months. Not bad! Read the full review, then head on over to get your free trial.
There's a world of fun going on at American Singles, which actually has members from the entire international community. Lots of high-tech features, instant messaging, great search features, and fun things to do like voting on whether or not you'd click on somebody--if you choose yes, you'd click on somebody, and they do the same for you, you get matched, which is just one of the things that's a blast about this online community. Get some more details in the review here, then jaunt on over, and let the good times roll!
One of the big names in the field for years, FriendFinder offers an array of chat rooms and communities for all kinds of people with all kinds of interests seeking all levels of contact. As the name implies, you can find anything from a pen pal to a spouse. And, better still, with millions of members, you get others helping you look! Read the review, then take a look with your free trial today.
To get back to down-to-the-basics, thrill-of-the-hunt dating, check out ePersonals. You pick your own dates here, based on your own tastes and instincts. You can hone it down with their database search, but no computers will be doing the choosing for you. Something to be said for that, if you have strong opinions of your own. We give you the review here, and then click on over and choose your mate the old fashioned way.
For a site that's big on cute features like rating who of their users has gotten the most hits, kisses, and flirts, you might get a kick out of the cartoon styling of Platinum Romance. As always, our review will tell all.
Okay, you've seen the commercials with everybody waxing poetic about finding their soul mates. Now click here for the full scoop on eHarmony. Yes, they have an excellent record for making lasting matches. But, it's not for everybody. Read the review to learn why. If you decide it's for you, head on over.
