Last updated: March 2019

Our Review

AnastasiaDate is an online dating site, which was founded in March of 1993 by David and Elena Besuden. It was officially launched on January 21, 1997. Most of AnastasiaDate’s members are men from North America and women from Eastern Europe, specifically Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, and more. Through the AnastasiaDate online dating site, singles who are continents apart can have connection and interaction. It basically bridges the gap between single men and women from the opposite sides of the globe.

However, it may appear to some individuals that some other profiles are not legit. On the contrary, many singles who have already tried and tested mingling with other members and found a partner through AnastasiaDate believe the opposite. For them, this online dating site is the best place for them to look for their match and would-be significant other.

In addition to that, non-paying members of AnastasiaDate have limited access to all the features that this site has to offer. So to maximize your dating experience and to fully enjoy the many perks of being an online dater on AnastasiaDate, you must purchase credits. As a free user, you may still enjoy dating online, but with a paid subscription, you will surely take pleasure in meeting new people and making friends with them.

In spite of this security measure, there are still deceitful users with fraudulent profiles. But since AnastasiaDate’s members’ profiles indicate whether they have been confirmed or not, you can be sure that users you connect with are not fake.

In addition to that, a user’s profile also shows his/her birthday, so that other members can send him/her flowers or gifts, if they want to. This is made possible by AnastasiaDate’s Flowers and Presents service.

There is also an option to print a certain user’s profile if ever you want to have his/her personal information printed. What’s more interesting is that if you want to have a glimpse of the world of the member who has caught your attention and curiosity, you can enjoy watching his/her uploaded videos on his/her profile without having to spend on credits.

Real Life Review

"I must admit that I’m skeptical about joining online dating sites simply because I have qualms. Another thing that fuels my doubt is the existence of fake profiles which are only there to scam other users. But last week, while I was eavesdropping the conversation of my officemates about the thrill of dating online, I became curious. So when I got home, I tried searching for online dating platforms, and I chanced upon AnastasiaDate. I still had reservations, though.

Now I’ve been using it for days. I can’t say that I’m fully satisfied because honestly, some profiles there really appear to be fake. Pictures also look too-good-to-be-true. So I’m having thoughts that maybe some messages are only generated by bots. I also receive so many messages that flash on my screen coming from gorgeous ladies with the option to chat for free. But after trying to send just a few messages, I was already asked to purchase credits to continue chatting. So I think they use some attractive female profiles to lure men into buying more credits.

Even so, you might want to give this dating site a try because if you’re willing to spend money on credits, you can try to actually talk to one of your matches by booking a phone call. That way, you can tell if the one you’re talking to is a legitimate member or just made-up." - Software Engineer (28)

Design and Usability

The interface of the AnastasiaDate online dating site is detailed. You can read a lot of different information on its homepage, as well as on its other pages. The site is not difficult to navigate. You can easily locate pages, such as FAQs, News and Updates, Media Publications, Success Stories, and the Dating Securely section. In addition to that, it is also informative. From its homepage, you can learn about the security measures and different features of AnastasiaDate, making the site instructive in a way.

In spite of this, you may find the site a little bit overwhelming because of the many pictures of other members that pop-up on the right side of the screen. But then again, you can still have ease exploring the site because the font used and its size is readable and details are not cluttered.
