With more than five million members and well over a million messages exchanged every day, Lavalife is a well-rounded dating site with many options for singles of all sexual orientations, as well as people looking for dating, long term relationships or casual flings.

Lavalife was one of the first sites that offered the ability to add an account in one, two or all three of their different sections: Dating, Relationships and Intimate Encounters. Lavalife members can even choose different profiles, pictures and handles in each of the sections, guaranteeing anonymity if required.

Features:

• Three different communities include casual dating, relationships and intimate encounters – you may set up a profile in one, two or all three communities
• A popular online dating option for Canadians
• Offers an online speed dating service
• Ability to search, reply to messages
• Search results show when the member last changed their profile and when they where last online. This information provides a great way to weed out the members who may no longer be using the site. Many other sites hide this information and show you profiles that haven't been active in years.

Prior to LavaLife's change to a monthly system, its best feature was that it was the only large dating service using a very effective credit system. Now the best feature is that members can respond to emails for free! Most dating services force you to pay a monthly fee to respond to an email. But in the case of LavaLife, they allow you to respond to any email you receive for free. Thus it is free to read emails you receive and respond, making that a huge advantage over other services. Being able to use credits to communicate. Most sites have monthly fees and annoy you with automatic monthly charges "for your convenience." Not LavaLife.

The way photos are handled on LavaLife is that you can display one main profile photo for everyone to see. Then you can have up to 8 "backstage" photos that a person can view only if you give them permission. If you want to request access to someone's backstage, you can request it in an email to them and click a button to grant them access to your backstage. You can also grant backstage access, if desired, to someone who has instant messaged you.

Lavalife has an extremely large member base internationally. Because of its scope it may seem challenging to weed through the variety of Lavalife users, but the many ways with which to search, browse and review profiles is extremely helpful in this matter. Lavalife's search options include checking to see who is online locally, a list of the newest profiles generally or in your area, and limiting results to profiles matching any of the demographic or relationship type requirements. There are also a wider number of ways to contact users at Lavalife, including chat/instant messaging, email, smiles, sharing of private photo galleries, video greetings and phone calls made through the site.
