Our MakeFriendsOnline Review

MakeFriendsOnline.com was launched in 2001 as a friendship and dating website with the aim of bringing people together. MakeFriendsOnline has grown into a half a million member dating and friendship site since then and has countless success stories under its belt. It is owned by a UK company but has members from all over the world. What makes this site different is its emphasis on friendship, many people who have found a partner on the site still keep up active membership because of the friendships they have formed and the social aspects.

Meets Manager

One of the really unique features of MakeFriendsOnline is the meets manager. what it does basically is lets you organise parties, outings, holidays, and other get-togethers, or to join in get-togethers organised by other members and by MakeFriendsOnline Admin. It lets you keep track of who is attending Meets, and if you are organising a Meet, it allows you to send a mailout to everyone who's signed up for your Meet, helping you keep members informed about important details and updates. The Meets Manager may not be available in your area yet, but we will inform you when this feature is launched in new regions.

Conclusion

Everything on MakeFriendsOnline seems to work like clockwork. The Meets and the Friendship aspect are probably the two things that make the dating site different from many others and these seem to be very actively supported. the chatrooms are generally busy and most of the profiles are full and a large proportion have pictures. we would have liked to see a free trial or maybe limited mails per day but we say this about every site :o) If you enjoy the social side of dating and making friends MakeFriendsOnline should be just right for you.
