Dating.com Review July 2021

Joining Dating.com is easy and simple. When you go to the site, you will be taken to its landing page where you can start the registration process. You can also do this by signing in through your Google account or via your email address.

After the initial sign-up, you will be required to fill out the About You section which includes your name or nickname, your sex and the gender of your preference, date of birth, and location. Filling out the next sections is not required and you have the option to skip it. These sections are interesting details about you, your interests, and photo upload.

Upon completion, you will be taken directly to the site's homepage or its discover page and you can start exploring as there is no email verification needed to do that. 

Dating.com has put in place several communication tools which aim to help its members interact with each other. These tools are important so that they can converse and make meaningful connections. Some of these communication tools are:

Chat and Messaging

Send instant chats and emails to members that caught your eye.

Video Chat

For a fee, you will be able to do a one-way or two-way video call or chat with another member.

Let's Mingle

Simultaneously send introductory messages to several members of your choice. This can be an invite to hang-out or to chat or video call.

Other communication tools

• Send winks
• Like a profile
• Comprehensive search
• Webcam

Although the registration and sign-up process were really easy, it is interesting to note that member profiles are almost completed and contain information that would help you get to know the member better. The About Me and interests sections are a great source of icebreaker topics which you and your match can talk about.

Viewing a member's profile is free and you can check them out. You can add your match to favorites or set a date with them when your schedules meet. Also included in the member's profiles which you can view for free are the member's cover photos. By looking at the members' profiles, you will also learn about their interests, something about them, and what they're looking for on the site. 

While you are viewing another member's profile, you can also opt to send them a message or an email for free. Through the members' profile, you will also be able to choose a present for your match.  

In terms of profile quality, there are reports that say Dating.com has fake profiles which attract people to sign-up and purchase their subscription plans. But the site keeps a close eye on these profiles and encourage its members to report if someone tries to scam or misrepresents yourself on you. Furthermore, they have a protection policy for their members.

Instead of premium membership, all standard members can purchase monthly credits from Dating.com. These credits can be used to chat, email, video call, and buy presents for other members of the site.

• 50 credits
• 600 credits
• 1,500 credits

These credits can also be used to access other site features like viewing profile videos of other members, for Let's Mingle, and sending stickers, smileys, and offline messages. 

However, when accessing the site through their mobile app, there is also another cost incurred if you become a premium member. You will be charged USD 9.99 per month.

Dating.com usually gives out discounts to its new members under its 150 credits/month subscription. From 49.99 USD, the site slashes the 60 percent of the cost to 19.99. This special offer is given to select new members so you should watch out for it if you are new.
