look no further, Date.com is one of the original full service
dating sites with everything you need. Their expertise and
fantastic service is what gives Date.com their great reputation
not to mention so many unique features not seen on many other

Date.com is one of the original
dating services! Online since 1996 and then re-launched again
on Valentine's Day 2000, Date.com has quickly established
itself as one of the premier Internet dating sites in the

facilitating 50 marriages, just in the past year, not to mention
many other successful relationships. Those are the kind of
results I like to hear!!

dating sites out there if you are seriously seeking. It caters
to various age groups and combines a romantic and fun feel
with very practical easy to use features. Let them help you

Membership Fee
Membership is easy and straight-forward - $24.95 per month
gives you access to the premium features at Date.com. I like
this concept because it I don't have to decide how many months
I want to sign up for. However you can save money by signing
up for longer term…either way we think it's worth every penny.
The 30-day GOLD membership fee is $24.95.
60 days for $34.95
90 days for $49.95
180 days for $74.95
Demographics
The 20-30, 31-40 and 41-50 age brackets each represent approximately
30% of our member base. The remaining 10% are 50+. Approximately
55% of members are male; 45% female.
What we'd like to see improve…
This site is sophisticated, easy to use and very complete.
We don't feel it even needs the audio/video bells and whistles.
It doesn't let visitors tour or browse before they buy but
we believe anyone who posts a free profile won't be disappointed.
It's worth signing in to take a peek.
