Flirt.com – One of the more colourful dating sites I’ve come across, not in a garish way, rather a mixed palette that emphasises the fun and friendly nature of the site and its members.  The site is very user friendly, you don’t easily get lost in a maze of options and preferences as soon as you start, the display is clear and simple to work with. In fact it’s almost childlike in its simplicity, I would say most people would get the hang of it and feel comfortable using all the features within 10 minutes.

Constructing a profile is again very straight forward, you can write as little or as much as you want about yourself, although as any experience online dater knows – the more in depth your profile the greater the likelihood of you actually meeting someone who suits you. The profile page allows you to rank your personality traits, such as how faithful, flirty, extroverted etc. You are. This might seem shallow, but if given a bit of thought and answered honestly this system can give the matchmaking software more to go on and help you find other members who are looking for the same thing out of online dating as you are.

The site allows you to browse profiles and view the chatrooms without registering, so you can have a peek at the member base and see if the kind of chat and activity that goes on is the kind of thing you want to get involved in. Membership opens up access to the full range of features on the site, including full chat and messaging, a wide range of search specifications and features (Geo Search, Meet Me Today) and allows unlimited access to member profiles and pictures.  A recommended site for those taking their first steps into the world of online dating.
