Lavalife
Lavalife started out in 1987 as Lavalife phone system
and currently markets its telephone services in over 60 markets across
the United States, Canada, and Australia using interactive voice response
(IVR) telephone technology enabling singles to meet other singles. In
1996 Lavalife acquired webpersonals and in 1997 the company launched
what is now become Lavalife.
Lavalife currently has over 600,000 active members exchanging over
1.3 million messages per day. The company’s uniqueness is based
on a transaction or pay-as-you-go payment method, 3 distinct communities
(dating, relationships, and intimate encounters), and a unique selection
of products to choose from such as video, mobile and web offerings.
I would suggest signing up for Lavalife since you can post a profile,
upload pictures and video for no charge.  Additionally
it is always free to respond to messages and you can instant message
with anyone. I found that it did not take long for someone to strike
up a conversation with me via instant message. At one point, I was instant
messaging with three people at one time! You can do anything on Lavalife
for no charge except send members an email as you must purchase credits
for this service. I found the pricing structure to be very affordable
on Lavalife for those who are on a budget. The profile is not very extensive
in fact you can fill one out in less than twenty minutes and you will
be a member of Lavalife. You will just need to choose your Lavalife
community (dating, relationship, or intimate encounters. At Lavalife
there are no guessing games since people are upfront about what they
are looking for: a date, relationship or sex. Lavalife offers a unique
experience online with cutting-edge solutions. Give Lavalife a try and
you might just find yourself addicted to the light of the lava!

| Pros |
Pay as you go dating which you
choose the credit package that fits your needs. It is always
free to reply to someone’s email or instant message. You
can choose from 3 distinct communities (dating, relationships,
intimate encounters) where you post your profile so you can
easily find the person you want to date. Lavalife is one of
the few sites that offers video. |
| Cons |
Profiles are not very detailed
so you will need to learn about someone on future emails. Members
can hide their pictures backstage so if you want to see those
hidden pictures than you have to request a pass backstage directly
from that person. |
