AmericanSingles.com carries a bold domain name and its focus is clear from the start. This site is looking to serve the needs of single Americans. Does America’s apparent answer to finding love fare any better than the sea of others from around the world? This is what we wanted to know as we delved deeper into the depths of American Singles.

There is no charge for browsing the profiles. You can also send someone a “flirt” for free (maximum 30/day), which is a cleverly prewritten phrase to show interest in someone. The catch comes in the fact that the other person can’t retrieve the message received without a paid subscription. I know dating sites are big business, so I don’t expect my love to come cheap or out of charity, but I figure the people behind American Singles are shooting themselves in the foot on this one. I might cruise through the profiles and see someone I like, but before I pay money to try to launch the love affair of the century, it would be useful to have a sign available for me to know the other reciprocates my interest. If the object of my desire is a paid member, no problem. An instant message can be sent in response to my tease and I can reply to it for free… but if my future lover is another free member, it’s impossible to let me know anything.

“AmericanSingles.com has certainly proven itself to be a solid destination for singles.”

If you want more of a taste of the American Singles experience you’re going to need to put your faith in the profiles you’ve seen and take the plunge to upgrade your account. You can then take advantage of the private onsite e-mail system, instant message other members that are online and chat live with a group of folks who are looking for love.

In the past, the relationship options on this site were limited only to the purely wholesome goals of friendship or long term dating, but times are changing and now the site has more choices, including “intimate/physical” relationships. I find wording is vague enough not to cause anyone to blush with modesty or flush with desire. In other words, it doesn’t seem to be the type of site where sex and one night stands are running rampant, but it does leave the door open for those that are willing to take all that relationships can encompass to the limit.

With limited access to the extra features, you’re definitely going to want to sign up for a premium membership if you want to fully enjoy the site. American Singles does have a great search engine with lots of easy to use options like searching by zip/postal code, telephone area code and choosing between new, most active or most popular.

Speaking of popular, AmericanSingles.com has certainly proven itself to be a solid destination for singles. It is a very busy site for those living in the USA, so if you qualify, you may want to drop by, even if it’s just to look around.
