Dating Angels

WHAT WE FOUND: Datingangels.com is a great idea for a dating service that serves residents of the UK. The guide area will give you a quick and intensive tour of all the features that are included such as your Guardian Angel that watches over your membership and lets you access your profile to make changes, keep a list of who’s visited your profile, who has answered your personal questions and access to the search for other members. There is a lack of text descriptions with the icons used to navigate the site, so you’ll want to read the guide thoroughly. Joining is quick with only basic information being required, but you’ll want to allow yourself at least 10 minutes to complete the profile properly or be prepared to come back to it later. There is a chat area called “The Bar” and you have access to astrological match information to see if the stars can guide you to a good astrological match made in heaven. The search features are one of the best and most extensive we’ve seen. The “Agony Angel” area has advice and access to Dating Angel’s customer service areas too. When you join you receive a full member free trial membership that lasts for 5 days. When you become full member (after the free trial expires), you can send messages to other members and have use of the “Angel Chat” instant messenger that allows you to talk with other members that are online with you. If you don’t become a paid member you can still send ‘kisses’ to other members and use the search feature, but you won’t be able to send or receive messages or join any chats. Join and you may be selected as “Angel of the Day”!

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to join and post your profile with pictures, full access 5 day free trial. Meet others online in the Bar area. Become a paid member to send and receive messages after the free trial expires. Dating Angels currently services residents of the UK. Straight and gay/lesbian personal ads.

CHANGES WE'D LIKE TO SEE: (Suggested Oct 2003) Add a text navigation bar and darken the graphics, they appeared very light and hard to read on my LCD screen, but they were OK on my CRT monitor.
