Below, we have left our original Date.ca review for your continued reading. It had received it's last major update on July 17, 2009.
Date.ca is one of Canada's premier online personals service. With usually thousands of members online at anyone time it doesn't get easier to meet
new Canadian singles in your area. Date.ca is made up of a fun, high-quality group of singles from all walks of life, all backgrounds,
all professions and all ages, who are living life to its fullest and looking for others to share their experiences with.
With the new Click Alert option available by every profiles picture it introduces a simple way for Date.ca to introduce you to members you think you'd click with and who feel the same about you.
It's fun and easy, and everyone can participate. Just look for Click! in members' profiles and tell Date.ca what you think by picking yes, maybe or no. When two of you click yes,
we'll introduce you with a Click! Alert.
Their secure online server makes connecting at Date.ca anonymous and safe, so you're free to sit back, relax and meet people from the comfort of your home or office.
Positive Features
- Create a basic profile in minutes (for free). This allows you to search Date.ca's singles member database for matches in your
area. When you find some compatible matches, you can then go on and create a more detailed profile of yourself. I found
several hundred matches in most of the medium size cities I searched for in Canada (based on certain age ranges and specific genders).
- Pay in Canadian Dollars.
- Member profile's lists when they were last updated as well as when the member was last online.
- Search for members within 1.6 km or 1 mile from you.
- Customer Care staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Well balanced number of men and woman profiles.
Negative Features
- Only one, on the first page of Create Your Profile, uncheck the box for "I agree to receive email updates &
announcements from qualified partners".
