Dating Direct Review
Membership Costs
Features:
Editor's Verdict: DatingDirect.com is a very well established dating website and its popularity reflects this. It's good value for money, with discounts offered if you join for longer; a Find Love Guarantee is also available for any paying members who don't find their ideal partner. For those who don't wish to subscribe, their free services are impressive. We particularly liked the excellent profile builder which allows you to express yourself through sharing your likes and dislikes, physical traits and circumstances, such as whether you have children or not. Many other sites don't offer this valuable feature. Also, for those new to online dating, the profile builder provides inspiration when trying to compose a profile, making it a helpful tool in finding someone special. This is open to all users, whether paid-up members or not, which is useful for those who are new to online dating and need some guidance on exactly what it entails. The pop-up alerts proved to be really positive feature of DatingDirect.com. They're fun, and we liked the fact that they keep you completely up-to-date with those trying to contact you. They link you directly to the person's profile too. You can also take part in live chat and video streaming with DatingDirect.com's MSN feature, which allows you to chat live via instant messenger to any other member on the site. As on all dating sites, to ensure your privacy, the live chat feature is not moderated when chatting to other members. This may dissuade the more safety conscious from using it. The My Personal Ad and My Perfect Match features both make it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Firstly, the Personal Ad allows users to publish their own ads to go on their profile. Using your own words, you're free to write a paragraph about yourself which other users can browse. This makes it easier for others to search for those with certain attributes. Secondly, outlining your Perfect Match makes it easier for DatingDirect.com to find you a partner. Here, you answer a few multiple choice questions to pinpoint exactly what you're looking for, then the website performs a search with these qualities, meaning that you're able to find someone who's perfect for you, quickly and easily. If you're shy or don't wish to be forward about yourself, DatingDirect.com advise you to use My Test. This is a great tool where you can make a list of questions that you would like to ask potential matches. We really liked this as it's something which is unique to DatingDirect.com and also makes it so much easier to find someone you're compatible with. It allows you to get to know people better than just by looking at their profile and it's also quite fun! One thing that really stands out with DatingDirect.com is the fact that they put on events up and down the country, something which really makes joining worthwhile. This can make the online dating experience more personal and more effective too, giving users a better chance of meeting someone special. Please note, however, that DatingDirect don't specify on the site where and when future events are going to be held so it's not guaranteed that they'll be accessible to all users. Lastly, My Lists allows you to keep track of who you've contacted, or who's contacted you, and when. This means you never lose anyone's details which makes a match in the future more likely! Within My Lists there is also a My Favorites list, to which you can add all your favorite contacts. This even comes with a handy online (private!) notebook, where you can write down your personal views on potential suitors. This should prove very useful for organizing all your contacts. In summary, DatingDirect.com ranks in second
place in our list of UK dating sites. The site doesn't have as many
active members as other UK dating sites we reviewed, nor is it quite as
straightforward to use because of its many powerful features. However,
many features are very easy to use, such as the profile builder, which
provides a very comprehensive method of quickly creating your profile.
The pop-up alerts also help to keep you up to date with your contacts.
We also liked the innovative
concept of members events, which may not reach all users but will certainly be
great fun for those who can attend. Also, the fact that ANY paid-up
members can apply for a refund if they don't find anyone special is a
great selling point. So, DatingDirect.com is a great site with heaps of
features and good value for money.
