You have to fill out the Join Form to start here, this will allow you to reveal as much or as little as you care to, be sure to include how strong your faith is as it is just as important as what you do and where you live. The Matchbot will bring immediate results if there is someone already registered and waiting for you.

WHAT WE FOUND: Start with the Free Membership that gives you: Your own personalized profile with up to 5 pictures, free e-mail account, unlimited browsing and searching of all the personals, live chat, the SoulMate Searcher (which will email you of new members that match your profile) and more! You must first join as a free member to access the personals, which is a good thing since it will keep out the insincere and unsuitable people from becoming members. The sign-up is 5 pages of information. Sounds like a lot, but it’s not. You have the opportunity to review each section as you complete it so you can be sure to be accurate about yourself. Remember that this is the first impression that you’ll make. Your profile is reviewed before it is posted but you can begin searching the profiles right away. The search can be as well defined or as open as you want it to be, which I really like. Remember to write down the person’s user name that you want to send a message to and then head over to your email and start meeting people today! When the free membership expires there will be charges for Premium services here and you can have your membership extended by referring friends to Christian Soulmates.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free trial memberships with unlimited access, Christian personals that you can add up to 5 pictures to your profile, onsite anonymous email.

WHAT WE FOUND: A great site to catch up with/find old classmates and co-workers. Create in-depth profiles where you can add “then” and “now” pics and create a photo gallery; include bios about your life, school and work; announcements, Q & A and favorites. You can see who is missing from your class, join communities to find friends and send Classmates Email that Gold members can read.

You can also receive member rewards, benefits and discounts to thousands of shopping, dining and travel. Search by first and last name to find results that show school listings or do an advanced search to see results from college, work or military directories. Members who have changed their names are shown with their current last name first and former last name in parentheses. Classmates also provides their own dating service and you don’t have to join to see who has joined. Those who have signed up with Classmates Dating will have a red heart next to their profile.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Classmates.com has many features that allow this reunion, get-together and meet again service work well for people locally and around the world. Free memberships and Gold memberships available. Free membership allows basic access to the services, Gold membership allows you to contact, post and have unlimited access to all reunion-type features. Also integrated is the Classmates Dating service that helps you to find relationships, from old flames to old/new friends.

WHAT WE FOUND: Communities.com is a free service for people that want to meet people in an (almost) anything goes forum. You’ll be able to chat with people all over the world within minutes of becoming a free member. Post pictures to your profile, join forums to create or continue conversation topics, it’s really a lot of fun hanging out here. The navigation could have been better laid out, it’ll take you a few visits to get your bearings getting around the site so be sure to read the FAQ after you join. Chats are group via forums and private using the Instant Messenger service, watch your top of page icons and right sidebar icons for actions that need your attention.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free memberships, this is a forum and chat based service. You must be 14 or older to join, those 16 and under are restricted to their age group for interactions, which, although not ideal, does help this to become a teen-safe website, although the rules are easily bypassed and parents should be cautioned.

WHAT WE FOUND: CSO is the best at bringing people with a country air about them together! When you post your personal ad you get a full page to tell your possible match all about yourself and you can include up to 2 pictures just by emailing it to them and if you don't have a scanned picture, send them the original(s) and they'll scan and post it for you. The profile form is quite extensive and allows you to really talk about yourself and let people get to know you. Remember, this is your first impression, take your time and do it right! I really like the question "How country am I?" This will help you really find your match if answered properly. Have some fun browsing the ads, you can do this before you become a member. Visit the Cool Country Links to see websites that you knew were out there but didn't know the address. When someone sends you a message, you'll receive an email telling you that you have a message waiting, so you'll know when to login and start writing to your newfound friends. You could even be selected Country Guy or Girl of the Month! If you're a little bit country, this is the service for you!

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Services include Country Happenings Listings, onsite email and more. Free to browse the personals and become a member to post your own profile. Straight personals only here.

WHAT WE FOUND: Join for free and have a lot of features that other services charge you for such as: replying to messages and using the chat room. When joining be sure to agree to accept the newsletter that has info about discounts, local events and parties, you don’t want to miss out on anything. We found Cupid.com easy to navigate, fast to search through the profiles and full of features that are helpful to their members including the weekly advice column featuring Lisa Daily, author of “Stop Getting Dumped!” and the Date Planner suggestion questionnaire. Free members have full run of the service (free members can reply to messages only), use of the chat room and full search capabilities. Build up your match list and keep up-to-date with your contacts and matches on your “My Cupid” page and have matches automatically emailed to you so you don’t have to log in every day. We really like the feature that allows you to change your online member name, just in case you’re feeling a little different from when you signed up, changing your online name can awaken a whole new attitude and most services require that you re-join to change your online user name.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free membership includes replying to messages, access to advice and chat room. Gold membership allows you to initiate contact. Straight and same sex personals.

WHAT WE FOUND: A great place to get to see people as you meet them. Cutemeter is created around the popular picture ratings system and also includes many ways to meet the people that have posted pictures. Join for free and have access to the best features, become a paid member, at a very reasonable price, and have great extra features that will keep you coming back day after day. We like the smooth picture rating system, the fast loading pages, the always active forums and the “Who’s Online?” page where you can interact right now. Membership is fast, the profile form is easily completed and you have room for 3 pictures to post, one audio clip and you can send/reply to messages in the message boards. Paid membership allows you an unlimited photo gallery for your pictures, and more features that will let you see who has been viewing your profile, how they rated you and access to IM nicknames if they are available. The profile search feature allows for profile matching to the questions you complete on the form. I wish more services had searches like this.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free membership includes the best features, paid membership (very cheap) allows you all features. Straight and same sex members.
