My comments

I like Date.com a lot! No doubt they are very serious about their job. Date.com is online since 1997 and their database is really impressive.

It's quick and easy to sign up and I appreciate this fact. Another great feature: no restrictions for free members to browse profiles and view full-sized photos -- and I really mean: full-sized!

Search capabilities are very good. Design is very nice and clean, and it's easy to navigate the site. Gays and lesbians will find this site worth their visit too.

In my opinion, this is what a good dating site should look like!

If you are using a modem connection, pages may load slowly, but this is the only minor disadvantage that I've found.

Date.com's weekly webzine is loaded with tons of articles, interviews, stories, advice, dating tips, and also features an alternative lifestyles section with gay specific articles. Cool!

Useful tip

I suggest you to log into your account at Date.com every day if possible. This way, you will be placed at the very top of search results AND your online status will be displayed to other visitors. A lot more chances for you to be seen!
