WHAT WE FOUND: Just start by joining up. The free part starts as soon as you complete a short form for your username and password and for others to be able to find you. Then you can start searching for a date or add more information to your profile, upload your picture, really take a look around. Of course you can just go and look around, the search is there even if you aren’t a member yet. Head over to the chat rooms and see who’s talking! It’s free to make contact so go and have some fun! You can check for new messages and the messages you’ve sent out at your email page.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free service when you join and free to make contact. Add your picture to your profile, join the chats, search the profiles. Straight, same-sex and swinger ads available.

WHAT WE FOUND: Your first visit to SoulWeavers is your first step to finding others of a spiritual nature and understanding, to communicate and share of yourself with others. You will be able to do a “search-wide” to see other member profiles on your initial visit, but to get the full SoulWeavers experience you will need to join for a free membership. W are very pleased with the layout of this service and particularly impressed with the quality of profile and essay questions that make up your profile. We like what is asked (for example: “We believe relationships are great teachers. What are the most important lessons you've learned from your past relationships?” and “How would you describe your spiritual orientation?”) and the fact that if you don’t feel answering some or all of the essay questions important, they are not shown on your completed profile, so you don’t have big blank areas under your member name. Your free membership allows you to complete detailed searches and read complete profiles of other members, as well as adding up to 3 pictures with your profile and reply to messages. Premium membership allows you to make first contact with others and create a favorites list of members that interest you. Messages are saved in your member mail box and a notification is sent to your registered email address that you have messages waiting. The Dreamcatcher is where you choose the type of person you’d like to meet and you are emailed when matches are made. We like the “deep searches” and the optional search criteria you can include in your search (for free and premium members) to really find someone you’d like to meet. Also the information included with your profile helps you know who’s interested in you by letting you know how many people have placed you in their favorites and how many have visited your profile. In a true spiritual fashion the SoulWeavers profile form has the most religious options we’ve seen, going beyond the regular Christian, Buddhist and Judaism choices to also include New Age, Native American, Pagan/Earth-based among others. If you feel you are a spiritual person, this should be one of the places you frequent to meet others.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free and premium membership options, become a paid member to make initial contact, free members can reply to messages, fast and detailed searches. Straight and same sex personal ads available.

WHAT WE FOUND: A well-designed service that fulfills a great need on the Internet, meeting people that share your faith. Start by registering yourself, answering only the questions that you want to answer. Once you receive your password, you are ready to start meeting someone like you! With your beliefs and values. Just wait a day until your profile is approved to send messages. Messages are automatically forwarded, anonymously, through the Big Church email system, so your privacy is protected until you give out personal information yourself. Members ads must be approved before being searchable and follow the guidelines that Big Church has set out. Use the Hot List to save the profiles of those you are interested in becoming friends with. You’ll like this service and the people that are waiting to meet you. This is much more than just a singles site.

WHAT WE FOUND: Lemontonic is a dating service who's time has finally arrived. Using technology to the advantage of the single person, you'll love the integrated features this service offers. Built using Microsoft's Passport and Instant Messenger technology as the ground floor, Lemontonic brings together the best of the online world's fun activities using video, audio, webcam chat tied with an impressive match technology and a layout that allows you full control over who contacts you. We are very impressed with the way the service is designed. Once you are a member, which takes a Passport sign-in (info) and the latest Microsoft Instant Messenger (info), you must complete the profile and optionally, add pictures, video messages and audio messages. When you are contacting someone, you can send them a text message, and after contact has been agreed on, you can send audio and video messages. You will be notified of matches to your profile using your selected choices as the match criteria. Searches are fast and can be set for an area around your zip/postal code (for American and Canadian members). Using IM technology helps to keep the file sizes of audio and video messages low so there is rarely any slowness of the system or bandwidth issues even for members on a dialup connection. The outstanding feature of this service is that as long as your Microsoft Instant Messenger is running, you are able to be contacted by another member of Lemontonic that you have previously agreed to contact you. We suggest you edit the information on your IM so that you don't reveal any personal information or alternatively, signing up for a second Passport and Instant Messenger sign in to be used with Lemontonic.
