WHAT WE FOUND: Begin your visit to Romantic Planet by taking the guest tour. Here you will meet Karen and see how Romantic Planet has worked for her as well as get an insiders view of all of the available features. Becoming a member will be your next step, since only members can view most of the profiles (see permissions) and the trial membership allows for access to all features for 90 days, including sending and replying to messages, sending cards, adding photos to your page and more. You’ll need to login after completing your profile (or the parts of the profile you are ready to complete) so you can start visiting the community center and share conversation on any of the forums, and begin checking out your prospects of compatible matches or search for other members that you’d like to meet. The features that make Romantic Planet stand apart from other online services begin with the in-depth profile questionnaire where you will answer questions about yourself that will help with the unique “MatchMind” scoring system that tells you how well of a match you are with other members. “Permissions” is the next unique feature: this allows you to set rules on who can view your profile and pictures. You are always in control of your profile and can set options so that only members that have answered the same types of questions about themselves can view your profile or that permission has to be granted by you before someone can see your profile. The third unique feature is also the most impressive: DoubleMatch. This feature allows you to set up a match between yourself and a friend with another member and their friend. This will create a great way to meet face-to-face with someone you meet at Romantic Planet in a double date situation. Set aside about 15 minutes to complete your profile (5 pages of yes/no type questions and one page of essay questions) and the “My requirements for a Match” section where you select who you feel would be a compatible match and who can view your profile by setting your “Permissions”. The member search feature for “prospects” is fast and easily customizable so you get the results you are looking for quickly and lets you create lists of profiles you like, want to meet and want to block. Messages are forwarded to the email address you use to join but you have to login to your member account to send and reply.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: 90 day free trial includes access to all features. Profile information includes distance apart from your match. Straight and same sex member profiles.
