LavaLife offers singles a great way to meet new people, find new dates, begin a relationship, or just hook up for some intimate encounters – the choice is yours. There are three separate communities on LavaLife, each catering to those people seeking different aspects of dating: Dating, Relationships and Intimate Encounters. You simply choose the community that suits you best and begin searching for singles who match your preferences.

One unique aspect of LavaLife is the online member’s video greeting. This allows you to actually see and hear that person, rather than looking at a static photo that doesn’t tell you much about them. When you’ve found a match that’s right for you, you’re able to chat with them, email, send smiles or invite them to view your personal, private photo gallery to get to know you better.

Who Should Sign UpLavalife is an excellent online dating site that lets you choose what level of commitment you’re looking for. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for a relationship, or just a bit of casual dating, or even just a bit of hanky-panky on the side, Lavalife has a community to suit your specific needs.

When you join, you have the option of choosing any one of three communities. This way you know that the other people within the community you chose are seeking the exact same things you are. There’s no confusion and no problems down the track.
Why You Should Join When you join Lavalife, you have many more options open to you than with other comparable sites. It’s completely up to you if you want to search for serious relationships or more casual arrangements.

What’s more, you’re able to do these things even as a free member. You’ll still have access to the search functions of the site and can browse profiles that suit your tastes. You can even send out smiles to people who interest you, although you can’t initiate other types of communication until you’re a paid member.
What is Free When you sign up as a free member on Lavalife, you’re not limited to only a few lame features. You’re actually given access to browse, search and view the profiles of other members who might interest you. Create your profile and select which community type you want to be a part of. You have the choice of: Relationship, Casual Dating or Intimate Encounters.

This lets you only meet people who are looking for exactly the same things you are, so there’s no confusion later as there would be on other dating sites.

Then you simply set your search parameters to narrow down your search options, so only those people who match what you’re looking for show up. Free members can’t chat or email or even use the “Call Me” setting on Lavalife, but you can send a ‘smile’ to let that person know you’re keen. However, you can respond to a message sent to you by a paid member.
What is Members Only Paid members on Lavalife can do anything that free members do, plus they are also allowed unlimited amounts of smiles and messages. Paid members can initiate communications with people they’re interested in, including email and telephone, via the ‘Call Me’ button on profiles. You’re able to upload video greetings to your profile or your messages if you want.

For a fun way to meet new people, join the Lavalife Party in a real-time online party. Chat with others within your chosen community and get to know more people in a fun ‘party’ mode.

The “Call Me” feature on Lavalife lets you speak to singles over the phone without giving out your own phone number. Your number stays anonymous to the person you call, because you initiate the call through Lavalife’s system. They will ask you for your number and then they’ll ask the person you’re trying to contact for their number. Then the call is connected by them, so both of you remain private until you’re ready.
Commitment Lavalife will let you cancel your membership at any time.
Guarantee There is no guarantee offered by Lavalife that you’ll meet anyone. That’s up to you.
Tips and Tools There are plenty of ways to meet people on Lavalife that bring an extra dimension to this site. Remain discreet, or get out there and party online with other like-minded people.

The Lavalife Party is open 5 times throughout each day. Join in the party you have the opportunity to hang out and chat in a party atmosphere. There are usually plenty of people in the party rooms, so you’re sure to meet someone.

You also have three forums to choose from. These are divided into the three separate community types so you’ll always know who’s searching for what. Again Lavalife gives you the option of only meeting people who are searching for the same things that you want.
Features Lavalife allows members to invite other members to your own private ‘backstage’ area. Invite someone you like to visit your backstage area by issuing a ‘Backstage Pass’. If you have photos or videos that you’ve kept private from general view, these will become visible to anyone with a Backstage Pass.

Lavalife2Go also allows members with web-enabled cell phones to access the Lavalife site even when they’re away from the computer. This is great if you want to check for any messages or smiles you might have received while you’re on the go.

The advanced search function is great for letting you to weed out those people who may not be seeking the same type of relationship as you. This is good news if you’re only looking for a bit of casual dating rather than a hot and heavy relationship scenario.
