WHAT WE FOUND: GothicMatch is a great lifestyle service that is free to join and search out a match in a person that shares your style and personality, without having to struggle through mainstream online dating sites. The fast profile form allows you to join and quickly start browsing available profiles, to get into the Gothic Forum and catch up on relevant news. We like the questions asked in the profile form, be sure to add your picture! The instant messenger chat system lets you talk with other online members, and gets a lot of use from what we saw during our review. Also popular is the “Who’s interested in me” feature that let’s you see how’s been checking out your profile. If goth is your style, this is your online dating service.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to join and browse/search the profiles. Become a member to have unlimited use of the anonymous message service, the Instant Messenger chat and use of the gothic forums. Straight and same sex personal ads available.

WHAT WE FOUND: A fun, free dating service that offers a great search system to find your best possible match quickly. Begin by joining Galaxy Singles, after all, it is free, and you'll start by entering in the information about your birth country and current residence. This helps people of similar backgrounds and cultures meet each other fast. Then you are taken to the real registration page. Plenty of selections to tell people about yourself including 3 essay questions that you should fill out as completely as possible (remember not to reveal personal information such as your residential address or real email address!). Once that is completed, you have two search methods available to help you find someone to contact, Standard and Advanced search. We suggest starting with the standard search and if there are too many matches, go to the advanced search so you can narrow down the variables better. You can search America by state and the rest of the world by country. There is also available an Auto Matchmaker feature available, this is a quick one-click search that will introduce you to people that live close by and share some common interests with you. You'll enjoy Galaxy Singles but keep in mind these two things: it's a fairly new service, so you'll get a lot of attention to your personal ad, but it may be a while before the right person joins for you and be sure to upload your picture, you'll get many more people taking a look at your personal ad.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free personals, including picture personals and chat. Straight and same sex personals available.

WHAT WE FOUND: Get Married Now brings to you women from Novosibirsk and Kherson, Russia, online through their picture and video gallery.

WHAT WE FOUND: Putting a fun spin on internet dating, Great Boy Friends allows you to be a matchmaker for yourself and someone you know, for both men and women. We like the idea of having a ‘personal recommendation’ from one of your friends being posted along with your own personal profile. It makes the offline world of having a friend speak well of you as they set you up on a date. All profiles and recommendations are verified by GreatBoyFriends staff, so there’s no cheating. Profiles and recommendations that you can count on make this service tick. You’ll be able to join for free, recommend friends and add a picture of a recommended friend for a free month of unlimited membership, or upgrade by paying the monthly fee to have full access to the service. Free membership includes posting your profile, searching and recommending other members. Friends that you recommend can reply to messages they receive and everybody has to be a paying member to initiate contact with someone. If you want full access for free follow these steps: join and complete the registration; in your profile area, recommend a friend as a potential member and; upload a picture of that friend. Simple.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Join and recommend friends as members, include their photo for a free month of full access membership. Free membership includes posting your own profile and searching. This service is a lot of fun and a great way to network with your single friends online. Great online advice section too. Straight personals only.
