American
Singles is a basic online dating site ... but a good one.
There
aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but the rates are very
good and get even better if you sign up for several months. Your
initial membership rate is locked in - this means if you sign
up for 3 months and decide to continue one month at a time after
it expires, you will continue to pay the lower rate.
Features include the usual - search, instant messaging, "teases",
who's online, email and chat. One nice "extra" is the "your
matches"
email - if you choose, they will notify you about
new members who match your search preferences. The
web site itself is very easy to use. I personally thought the quality
of the people I met was higher than on comparable sites in the
same price range,
but your mileage may vary! We've heard good things about their
customer service.
Our main gripes with American Singles are a rather limited
search function and an annoying quirk in filling out your profile
- they give you a page with a dozen or more questions and
then force you to either answer all or none of them. If they ever
address those two issues we'll give them at least another half
star.
If you're looking for a dating site which is affordable and easy
to use, we think you'll like American Singles.
