WHAT WE FOUND: A fast signup that allows you a free trial period to test out Match-Love personals. Once you've completed the signup, you'll be shown the closest matches to your profile. Here you can modify your own search criteria, or setup Match-Love to start automatic searching for you. But to get to this next step, you need to respond to the confirmation email you'll receive about your membership. Click where it tells you in the email and you'll have the opportunity to add a lot more information about yourself but answering the full questionnaire, allow yourself about 5 minutes to complete it. Then the real fun begins! You'll have 7 days to use Match-Love and begin sending messages and joining in at the chat room. Messages to and from other members are forwarded to the email address that you signed up with by the Match-Love anonymous message system, so you remain anonymous until you want to reveal yourself. We like the way the messaging is set up and the added feature of voting for the people and profiles that you like and the counter that shows how active a member has been. You may want to be aware of the Hot Match feature, it has adult nude content and is not advisable for everyone.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Full access 7 day free trial. Personals available in several languages (select the language from the home page), chat room and guest book for interacting with others. Straight, same sex and other personal available here.
