African Afro-American Dating Services

WHAT WE FOUND: Afrikadating is a free basic online dating service that brings people of the African continent together with the world. Whether looking for a local or international penpal, chat partner, or even a date, this service should be on your list of free places to join. Search and profile features are limited but provide enough details that you can decide who you want to chat to, send messages, or avoid. Included in the features are sections that will tell you who has added you to their favorites list, your own favorite member’s list and a one click search to see who the newest members are. We like the online/offline notification included with each member’s profile, so you can see who is visiting the service when you are and maybe start chatting right away.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free membership, free to send and reply to messages. Basic member search, profile information and chat room available.

Once you have seen 25 pages, or any time before, you must join as a free member. The Black Planet Love service allows you to become a free member and post your own profile. To make contact you’ll need to become a subscriber, but free members can reply to messages and send crushes (a form of anonymous short message). The search feature for a compatible match can be as quick or comprehensive as the options you select to search with. Additional features include “Instant Love” chat with other online members, weekly matches emailed to you, topical news, plenty of forums, chat rooms and contests to keep you busy.
