FIND SOMEONE SPECIAL IN THE 10 PROVINCES OF CANADA

WHAT WE FOUND: Successfully Dating is an easy to use site that offers plenty of dating fun along with your membership. We like the profile form, it allows you plenty of room to describe yourself and what you'd like in a match, but we didn't like all the profile simple answers to the regular search-type questions. Be sure to use the open text areas by describing yourself more that can be seen through the preset questions. You'll have fun, once your profile is verified, by using the fast searches and the chat system. You can send members 'smiles' to show your interest, we like that easy introduction feature. The search methods are well throughout including simple and advanced searches as well as instant matching based on your preferences and searching for members that are online when you are, which can lead to meeting in the chat room. The video messaging is easy to use and fun.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free trial includes access to all features for 3 days. Messaging, video messages and live chat are fun things to do at this site. Lots of advice articles and movie and book reviews.

CHANGES WE'D LIKE TO SEE: (Suggested October 2004) Video profiles first in search results and saving different searches by category would be helpful.

WHAT WE FOUND: A dating service for single adults that is open to all people of any height. You can place a free personal with your picture and get responses to your ad without becoming a paid member. Joining allows you to respond, so you get a try-before-you-buy run of the service, which I like! Included also is a chat room and information to social events that will get you meeting people in the real world too.

You can respond to messages received by going to Tall Personals and logging in, they'll email you at your private address to let you know that you have messages waiting. Includes a newsletter and a chat room. Links to other Tall Clubs that will inform you of local social gatherings to participate in.

WHAT WE FOUND: TiredToBeSingle offers many features that the biggest and best services don’t. Language translations, photos with profiles, horoscopes, an online magazine called The Relationship Club and the best part is that it’s all free. Free to join and post your profile, free to send and reply to messages from other members. We like the fast search (you can search by country and state/province for America and Canada), the easy to complete membership profile form and the “Rate Me” beauty meter for each profile with a picture. Messages are kept online in your message section, so you’ll need to login to send and reply to messages. It’s a fun place to visit and definitely one of the better laid out services we’ve reviewed.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free membership includes sending and replying to messages. Include a picture with your profile. Horoscopes, advice section. Straight and same sex ads.

CHANGES WE'D LIKE TO SEE: (Suggested July 2004) The site is not fully Netscape browser compatible, the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Code of Ethics” windows popup into an unscrollable window. It’s hard to agree to these items if you can’t read them. You must go to the ‘Help/FAQ page to read them. More of a tour area, with more complete explanations of the service. Easy to find explanation of which countries citizens are subject to the criminal background check.

Free first match report and other matches when someone picks your profile are sent to you for free so you can see who is looking you up. When you join you get a customized report of matches e-mailed to you every week and you can send messages to anyone here, free members can only respond to the messages that have been e-mailed to them.
