You’re offered a free membership, which is a rather quick process. You fill out a short survey about who you are, and what kind of people you’re interested in. This will help you on your way to finding your perfect match.

SinglesNet.com

After you sign up, SinglesNet is easy to browse and use. Of course, you have to be 18 years or older to legally participate in the site and its services. Speaking of services, the different membership options available offer different kinds of tools to use. The free profile lets you upload photos, browse through other members, and send them messages. It’s not very much to operate with, but you will get a 7 days free trial with full features if you follow our links here. You can upgrade for 1 month, for $24.95; and for 3 months it’s $19.95/month; and for a year, it’s $7.49/month. As you can see, there’s a better deal if you sign up for a longer period of time. With this new membership you will be able to match yourself with other singles, send emails to anyone, get more support, and just have more all around features (which are not stated) that will help you find your exact match.

SinglesNet accepts Paypal, online check, credit card, and mail-in. This assures anyone should be able to join, as long as they have the money.  It’s worth it, for all the extra features you will be receiving.  SinglesNet.com is for anyone,  no matter what gender or what kind of preference you have.  You can be sure you’ll find just who you’re looking for on this online dating site.

As soon as the first page loads, I notice an impressive banner, and a fairly nice color scheme and layout at Spark.com. Of course the search bar is there as well, as that is the most important feature of every dating site. Everything is pretty straight forward here: there’s one sentence explaining the site, but no extra information or links, which is slightly disappointing.

There are success stories though, to prove the legitimacy of the site. What was impressive though, was the high amount of people online – 4363 singles. Those are pretty big numbers, and you have to figure at least half of them could be the person for you. Besides that, there really isn’t anything else to do on the home page, except sign up for a free profile.

Well, everything went pretty smoothly, and it didn’t take any longer than a couple minutes. There’s only a short “About You” kinda part you have to go through, so other people can see what kind of person you are. I usually don’t like filling in loads of surveys when I only want to get in and use the site’s services, but it’s a pass on this one. Once you finish everything, you have to confirm your email address (groan). This doesn’t take long, but it’s something I never did like. Finally, once inside the spark, you can start figuring out if this place is worth staying a part of. There’s a couple of options right off the bat: Become a subscriber; Upload photos; or check who’s online. This seems to be the extent of the free membership profile options, but there’s enough there to get you going. Did I mention when a member wants to IM you, it plays an awesome little jingle as a notice? That was within two minutes of logging on, so it’s rather obvious that it’s not hard to come across american singles here – Almost every two minutes you’ll get another notice of an interested single, which is fantastic.

Now, at Spark.com there’s a two different paid plans a person can invest in. Firstly, the standard plan. The cheapest plan is $7.49/month for 12 months. With the standard information, you can interact with video chat, use the message boards, and send and receive email. It’s a decent boost beyond the free membership, but there is yet one more to look at. For the premium membership, it’s $12.49/month for 12 months. This option seems kind of useless really. It highlights your profile, so it has a yellow shade. You’ll certainly get more attention, which is the objective; but for so much money, it may not be worth it.

Spark.com has plenty to offer as a matchmaking site. There’s a decent layout, that won’t get dull or boring; there are members IM’ing you every couple minutes, which means lots of potential people to meet; and there are even more features available through a paid membership. The only thing I would’ve liked, are a bit larger pages. Some times it feels suffocated, but other times it feels very cozy. It’s up to the user to decide. If this sounds interesting at all, then you should definitely check this site out. I highly recommend it as a matchmaking site.

Here is another welcoming dating site just waiting for you to jump right on in and enjoy its dating services. Well, it might not come out and say it quite like that. The website does look a little, ‘cheap’ I suppose, because of its simplified colors and layout, but I have seen much worse. Therefore, this site is already worth giving a chance.

The best thing about this website, is that it has a ton of information right on the front page; all you have to do is scroll down a ways to find it. A lot of sites lack in the info section, so it’s great when you really can find everything you are looking for just like that. Well, according to the website, you can expect everything here to be 100% free, with no hidden charges. All the features and members will be ready for use without the annoying entering and clearing of credit cards and paypal accounts.

The only two requirements for joining this site are, being of legal age, and being unmarried. So, this free online dating site is all about male and female singles only, and no couples or anything like that. You don’t have to be looking for only love though. As much as it is a matchmaking site, it’s also a site for finding friendship, pen pals, activity partners, short term relationships, or long term relationships. So your results here will be varied, depending on what exactly you are looking for. One thing also worth stating, is that there are members here for people all over the world, like Canada, Australia, UK, Europe, etc.

You can do everything most free dating sites allow you to do, with no really special options. You can search for members through their excellent search options, and upload information about yourself and photos to get matches much quicker. There are forums and blogs so you can get a better idea of what some people are like, and maybe some one who enjoys the same things you do. As soon as you sign up you will be on your way and finding singles instantly. The search results and forums are pretty packed, so there are plenty of members here to choose from. This is not a really huge community, but rather one of the smaller ones. That is not necessarily a bad thing though, because some people enjoy a smaller website population more. Whatever works for you is what you should stick with.

The matchmaking site does a good job at presenting itself as a very informative place where everything will always be free no matter what. It doesn’t do too well in the attractiveness part of evaluation, but that does not hurt it too much. There is a mild extensive member database, with people all over the world, and there are many features that will help you get closer to some of them. It has a promising future and could very well be a place to find love or friendship.
