I check out a lot of dating sites, in fact I have signed up for hundreds in the past ten years, and then I review them so that you can decide whether to try it or trash it.
The latest one I have been checking out lately is Lavalife, and I have to say I was generally pretty impressed. It’s easy to sign up and you get a 7 day free trial with an access to everything the site has to offer, so you can get a pretty good idea if it’s going to work for your before having to shell out any dough. Even though you may not have heard of Lavalife, they have been around since 1997 so I guess you could say they are established.

When you first land on Lavalife you’re not put off by too much information and too many questions. Once you have completed the basic information you get a link to create your own profile. Now creating a profile about yourself from a blank page can be tough, so what I like about Lavalife is that it helps to probe your personality with a quiz about your preferences and lifestyle. I have to be honest and say that the quiz took up to around ten minutes of my time, which many will find tedious, but if you think about it, this information is going to help you decide who you are and what kind of person you are looking for.
Having got through my Lavalife personality quiz, I have to say I was pretty impressed with the quality of the people I met on Lavalife. I always make a point in my reviews to check out profiles of both sexes, and in my checks I was seeing a lot of university degrees, some of them Masters, so Lavalife is obviously attracting its fair share of brainiacs.
Finally I looked at the price, and at $25 -$30 per month, it’s consistent with most sites, and there’s a discount offered if you sign up for longer. If you think about it, you’re probably spending more on your i-phone each month, and yet for the same money you could potentially find true love.
