Reviews Of Selected Canadian Dating Services
Find friendship, romance and love at these great services!

WHAT WE FOUND: Joining Fast Cupid brings you into a fun atmosphere of singles that like to chat, create video introductions and blog about themselves to create a better than usual profile. We found the registration process easy but with a delay in the confirmation email before we were accepted as a member. We really like the blog feature, it adds a greater degree of personalization to member profiles and keeps you active in visiting profiles. There are three types of memberships available: Standard (or free), silver and gold. The free membership opens up all features including using the Instant Messenger service, upload a photo and a video to your profile but you can only reply to a limited number of messages each day, only see a member’s main photo not their additional gallery of pictures, and the Cupid matching system will only provide 10 possible matches to your profile as well as only search member profiles by city. Silver and gold members have unlimited send and receive capabilities, search members by distance and zip code, have over 30 (silver = 20 matches) Cupid matches emailed every day. Gold members have even more features including first listing in all search results, the possibility of being a front page featured member, priority profile and picture approval, and also have access to other members MSN, Yahoo, ICQ chat ID nicknames as you add them to your hotlist. We suggest starting with the standard membership and upgrading as you find interesting members you’d like to meet.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to join with limited ability to reply to messages. Upgrade membership for unlimited use of all features depending on upgrade level (silver or gold). Instant messenger, chat and video introductions available. Every member can create their own blog for a more personal experience. Straight, same sex and swinger personals.

WHAT WE FOUND: Friendster is currently in beta mode, which means it’s free to join and make contact with others that are members. This is a connecting community based on friendships and friends of friends. When you join you are creating, or joining, a network that only works as hard and as good as you do, since any and all contacts you can make have to be in your Friendster ring of interpersonal friendships. Think of the ‘degrees of separation’ game that allows you to be a friend of a friend of anyone in the world. At Friendster, if they are a member, you can meet them too! To make this service work for you, you will invite others to join or have been invited yourself. Your membership consists of a gallery that has the information of members in your network, a message center to check incoming emails and save replies to messages, an events calendar that your network of friends puts together and an online store of recommended merchants. You can have up to 5 pictures available in your profile. The profile questions are quite basic, but allow you to describe yourself well, leading to introducing yourself to others. 3 types of searches will help you create or join your network of friends, search by email address, name and by interests but remember, they have to be in your network of friends before you can find and contact them.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Friendster if currently free (while in beta mode), has the basic features of an online service that allows you to create a network of friendships to meet people. If your nervous about joining and don’t want to have to email a lot of your friends before you can see what it’s all about, follow this link and you’ll be invited into the aLoveLinksPlus.com network of friends. Straight and same sex contacts available, depending on your network of friends.
