1Signing Up & Creating Your Profile

Like all of the best dating websites, the process for signing up at LavaLife has been made nice and simple. You just need to provide some basic information and your account will be set up and ready to go. When it comes to creating your profile you must first decide what it is you are looking for in terms of a relationship, as you will need to add your profile to the relevant section. As mentioned, you can add your profile to more than one of the sections if you do not necessarily have something specific in mind.

The information that is required for your profile will vary depending on which sections of the site you are joining. There is plenty of scope for producing a detailed profile and you can add up to ten photos too. Your profile will have to be approved by the site before it will be visible to other members, but this is usually done very quickly. Once your profile is created, you can then start browsing through other member profiles.

2Searching & Contacting Others

The search feature at LavaLife is easy to use and very versatile. You can search based on a range of different criteria and you can save your favorite searches. You will only be able to search in those sections of the site that you have joined and it is easy to find people that are looking for the same kind of relationship as you are. Search results will show when members last updated their profile and when they were last online, which is useful for identifying those who are active on the site.

There are a number of ways to communicate with others at the dating site. You can chat in real time, either on a one to one basis or within a group, or you can directly contact other members in private. You can even talk to other members on the phone through the site, without having to give out your number. This is a very popular option at LavaLife and is a great way of getting to know someone better.

3Additional Features

LavaLife has a number of additional features that you may well find useful. The video feature allows you to add a personal video introduction to your profile and you can send videos to specific members too. The speed dating feature matches you up with other potentially compatible members for a quick online date lasting a few minutes, and this will often result in meeting someone you want to get to know. There is also the emailed magazine which offers tips and advice for online dating.

4Payment & Pricing

As we have already mentioned, you can join LavaLife and create a profile for free – but you will need a paid subscription to use the full functionality of this dating site. The monthly charges are competitive and you get the best value for money if you pay for several months at a time. A single month subscription is $19.99 while a three month subscription works out at $16.99 a month. A six month subscription works out at just $9.99 a month.
