American Singles

American Singles was founded in 1999 and has been a staple in online dating personals for years. Sporting millions of members, your chances of finding someone special on American Singles are nothing to sneeze at. American Singles’ broad appeal is largely responsible for it’s popularity and it’s something that nearly every single person looking for love can take advantage of.American Singles offers a unqiue service called “Click!” When members search for singles and find someone they’re interested in, they can select a heart in the singles’ profile with a “Y” in it. If the person they’re interested in finds their profile and also selects “Y”, American Singles will notify both members of their mutual interest. This is a fantastic service and it’s completely anonymous until both sides agree that they are interested in one another.

American Singles also offers speed dating services that you can sign up for. They’ve partnered with HurryDate.com and they promote speed dating parties all across the country. They guarantee you’ll meet at least 10 singles or your next party is free. Like most speed dating parties, everything is kept anonymous until you and the person you’re interested in both agree that you’ve got some chemistry.

What I Love about American Singles:

• Popularity. In order to find someone special you have to have a nice big group of people to choose from.
• “Click!”. This is such a fantastic service and best of all…it’s FREE! It’s really nice to let someone know you’re interested without having to expose yourself. It’s like passing someone a love note in school: Do you like me? Check “Yes” or “No”.
• Speed Dating. Although the service is not free, speed dating can be successful and I’m always happy to see websites that promote it.

What I Hate about American Singles:

• Using the site. Well, hate is a strong word. But the design doesn’t suit me. You can certainly find your way around Americansingles.com, but it won’t come naturally.
• Profiles. The profiles at American Singles are not out of this world. They take care of the basics and allow people to write a little bit about themselves but I think they could have gone deeper with this portion of the website. After all, it is a dating personals site.
