100% Free Online Dating & Personals
DateHookup.com overview:
DateHookup.com is an absolutely free dating site. The site has a reasonably sized membership but not huge. It's a good place for newbies to get their feet wet and a good place for the experienced to stay active circulating with other members.
One of the unique aspects of this site is that local singles' events and activities are coordinated through and promoted on-site. What a great way to circulate online and in the real world for meeting available singles who want to get around town and do some fun and interesting activities. This is a great idea which most dating sites have yet to catch on to.
Performing a search using our benchmark inputs, we got about 50 listings with more than 75% having photos. That's a good ratio especially on a site that's free. All the listings were within 28 miles of our target location (Orlando, Florida). The listings themselves give the following information: age, username, location, how far from your registered location, how many pics they have available, and when the member was last on-line. That's a good start. Now on to picture handling and profiles.
DateHookup.com Features:
- Set up your profile and post your photos
- Perform searches of other members to locate your prospects.
- Automatic search results routed to your search box. You state your parameters and the site automatically routes potential matches to your search area for you to check out and act on.
- See other profiles to get a good idea what they want and if you're compatible.
- Partner sites are readily available to expand your possibilities
- Email other members throughout the site.
- Save your searches results. Listings can be saved in your own folder to check back on and consult.
- Put together a favorites file
- Start and maintain your own blog
- Contribute your input in the forum sections. Many topics, with lots of opinions being expressed. Make yours heard!
- Instant Messenger available for making live contact.

The more we dig into this site the better we like it. They have some advanced features like instant messenger and free e-mail access for all members. The membership numbers are the most significant weakness, although we actually got more and better matched prospects with DateHookUp.com than with some lower rated, fee-paying dating sites. DateHookUp.com also has the added bonus of promoting local singles' events and activities. Therefore, despite being a free site, DateHookup.com would seem to rival some premium memberships offered by other dating sites.
DateHookup.com has lots of useful features which are freely accessible to all members. The playing field is level and there's a communal atmosphere on the site.
