WHAT WE FOUND: Signing up is fast and easy, only two basic pages of limited information is asked, takes about 2 minutes to complete. Choose one or both of the dating sections “Dating Relationship” and “Intimate” profiles to be completed. Based on your selection of the sex of person you want to meet your profile will be available to like-minded members (straight or gay). When uploading your picture you also have the option to choose whether your picture is public, anyone can see it, or private, you have to give the person permission first; to allow Lavalife to use your public information and picture in their advertising.

WHAT WE FOUND: LetsMeetUp is an online video community that is great for people that own a webcam and want to meet other singles through video profiles and for people that want to see more than just a picture. Currently LetsMeetUp is free to join, post your profile and contact other members, so join now because soon it will be changed to a paid membership. (No date is available for this change.) The profile form is basic and will only take a minute to complete, the real fun here is the video profiles that are available. Be sure you have a webcam ready to place your own video ad or join the competitions to win one. Creating your video profile is easy but does require a software download (automatically installed, don’t worry about being a technical person). “The Lounge” is an online magazine that has plenty of fun articles, advice, contests and things to do. Searches are fast and browsing the profiles is easy to do and quick to find the type of profiles you’re interested in. They really made a site worth hanging out at when they decided on the features to be made available at LetsMeetUp. (Note: Internet Explorer is required to access the features of this service, other browsers are not currently supported.)

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Currently free to join (may change soon to paid memberships), post your profile and contact other members. Chat room and online magazine. Be sure to have a webcam ready to create your video profile.

WHAT WE FOUND: Love.org is one of the easiest to use services we’ve reviewed. Currently free to join, place your personal ad and send and receive messages, we recommend that you complete a quick search of your local area before you join. That will usually convince you that there are people in your area, or with the attributes that you find attractive, that you want to meet. The search is geared for members from America and Canada since these members can search by zip code to localize their results. Other countries match by the country. You can also narrow the results by a person’s appearance, including tattoos, body piercings, hair and eye color, etc. When joining you will be emailed your account information so be sure to double check your email address. The profile form is quite easy to answer, includes room for up to 5 pictures, and uses your answers to questions that will be incorporated into sentences to avoid the checklist look that many other services use but with 8 essay questions you may want to keep your profile invisible until you’ve fully completed it. We really like the “Interest Meter” feature that allows you to automatically place someone in your hot list or interest list as you view their profile. Messages are sent anonymously through the Love.org system to your member message center. You have to login to check for messages. Use the agent feature to have profiles searched automatically and match notifications emailed to you as new members join. The free membership allows for up to 10 messages a day per member and you can become a gold member and have unlimited message capability for a fee.
