How Does Yahoo! Measure Up?

In the sea of online dating sites, Yahoo! Personals provides a straightforward way to find people you can connect with and get to know your matches to see if there's something there. The company's motto is "better first dates, more second dates," and that's exactly what it delivers, along with a pool of over 10 million singles and the "6 months back" promise.

Getting Started

Yahoo simplifies the process of meeting someone special by letting you try before you buy. Setting up a free profile is easy and only takes 15-20 minutes. While this registration is more detailed than on other online dating sites, one of the Yahoo!'s best features is that, in addition to the usual questions about what you're looking for in a soul mate, it also asks you questions about what kind of personality and social habits they should have, leading to more accurate matching.

Once you've posted your profile, you can either search for free to see if there's anyone who sparks your interest or wait to get matches sent straight to you. Another great feature is that you can see who has viewed your profile -- and when they looked at it -- for free, as soon as it's up.

If you decide to join, then you'll be able to start flirting and communicating with other members. See someone you like? You can choose to move slowly by answering one of up to three questions your match has picked out, or you can go for it and start chatting immediately via safe, anonymous and secure instant messages and emails.

The dating service will send you matches based on your preferences, and the frequency is totally up to you. Don't like waiting? Use Yahoo!'s powerful search engine to look for profiles that match your keywords -- then save your searches to return to them later. You can even filter your lists to view only new members, people who've been active in the last 24 hours or potential matches who're online at that time.

Pricing

Meeting someone special shouldn't break your budget. Yahoo!'s 6-month plan -- the best deal – also includes the "6 months back" promise, which guarantees that any member who doesn't find someone special within 6 months will get up 6 more months free to keep looking.
