LavaLife.com Review
lavalife dating free trial

Site Overview:
lavalife.com has had an internet presence since 1997 but existed as a personals company as early as 1987. It has the normal features of most internet dating sites, i.e. users can add profiles, including photographs, search and browse other members’ profiles. The profile setup is relatively quick, as there are a lot of multiple choice options. There are two things that set LavaLife.com apart from most others. The first is that free members, although they can only initiate contact through a ‘smile’, can reply to contact from others. Most sites charge for this function. The second thing that makes this site different is the three separate communities: dating, relationships and intimate encounters. Each has the same facilities but is completely separate – members can even have different profiles, names and pictures in each if they want to join more than one. Other features of the LavaLife.com site are:

  • Search and browse options, including a range of filter options
  • email
  • chat
  • forums
  • see who’s online
  • success stories
  • safe dating tips
  • online speed dating events
