Delaware Dates

Delaware Dates is a dating site that helps the single students, alumni and staff of the University of Delaware get together. The site is very easy to use and signing up for the site is quick and easy. The profiles in this site can be very detailed, but they don't make you fill in all that detail when you sign up, you can go back and do it later. This is a nice feature because it lets you get inside the site and check it out before you commit all that time to your profile.

Checking out the site before filling in your profiles is important in this case because this is one of those sites that will work great for a small group of people, but most people will find pretty useless. The reason for this is that about 95% of the members of this site live in or around the University of Delaware. So if you are in that area, the site is good, if not then really there is no point to spending much time with it because there won't be any other members near you.

If you do decide to give the site a try you can use the search engine to sort the members by age group and distance from you or you can use the advanced search called Super Match which uses the details from your profile to better match you with other members. You can use the search and look at people's profiles with your free membership, but you will have to get a paid membership if you want to contact people directly. Aside from the search there are no other features. This is a bummer for me since most dating sites these days offer some form of chat or instant messaging. Here you don't get that.

I ended up giving this site a low score because it is a small site that has no extra features and has most of the members concentrated in one area. So most people will not find it a very useful site. However, if you are in the area of, or go to, the school then this is a site that should work very well for you. In that case ignore my score, get inside and get hooked up.
