Testimonials
“We were both divorced with two kids each. Neither of us was looking to get married again, we just wanted to find someone to hang out with, be friends, etc. I was getting on the site to remove my profile and he had just signed up through an email ad he received. I hadn’t had any real luck; I met some guys. A few turned out to be good friends, but no romance. I had pretty much given up, and then I received an email telling me that he liked my picture and wanted to talk. So I called him and we talked for hours. We talked everyday for hours for about 4 days. Then I decided to get up the nerve to go meet him. I hadn’t had real success so I wasn’t about to get my hopes up this time. So I decided that one day after work I would meet him and off I went, I took my kids with me this time. I wanted their opinions, they didn’t much care for the other guys I had met, but they just loved him and his kids. The rest is history; we haven’t been apart from that moment on, except to go to work. We moved in with each other unofficially right away, and then six months later it was official. I moved out of my own house and into his. We were married May 13, 2005 and are living happily ever after.”

We are anxious to see what God has in store for both of us..
Chris and I met on Friday, July 31st in the 20’s chat room. We were goofing around, and I was sitting on the mingle couch, as we like to talk about in the chat room. Chris decided to take a flying leap onto the couch, and sent me flying off of it. After that, we started talking a little, and he sent me a smile. I sent him a smile, and we’ve been talking ever since. We officially started dating on August 16, 2009, and I went out to visit him in Omaha 2 weeks ago, and then also last weekend. My friend and I are taking a trip next week to Omaha to see him, and then flying to LA. We have already planned on one of us moving to the other one (a lot of it will depend on where I can get a job and start my career), and we plan on doing that in the next few months or so. We also have talked about getting married, which we think God has planned for us. We are anxious to see what God has in store for both of us, but we’re pretty sure it’s for us to be together for the rest of our lives.

“I’ve never been one to get on a dating website. I kept getting mail from BlackSingles, so one day I decided to try it out. I joined BlackSingles on July 16, 2006 for one month. The last day that my contract was to end I met my true love, which was on August 16 around 8:30 pm. I only had a couple of hours left. I IM’ed him and he did not response back right away. Then later on he response back to me. He gave me his phone number and we had a long talk. Then after a couple of days we met. He was everything that I wanted in a man. After 3 months we moved in together. We have been together for 2 years. Then on my birthday July 18, 2008, he surprised me in bed with breakfast and had an engagement ring on the handle of a fork. Of course I accepted. We are very happy. We got married on April 17, 2009. Thank you BlackSingles! I never thought that I would find happiness like I have with Khamil. I have the best husband that I could ever ask for. We will be together 3 years on August 16, 2009. For anyone that does not believe that you can find your mate on BlackSingles, I am telling you that you can. Thanks again!”

Mate1.com Review

Filed under Dating Site Reviews
Ranked by Comscore Mediamatrix® and Neilsen Netratings® among the top 5 mainstream dating sites on the planet, Mate1.com has over 15 million members, with tens of thousands joining daily.
It is supposedly the most frequented explicit dating site on the web. A unique feature that gives Mate1 an almost 50/50 girl to guy ratio is the fact that women don’t have to pay for membership while guys have to pay a monthly fee. Although this may not seem fair, it is an effective solution for balancing the playing field.

Dear Mate1,
I met my soul mate on your website! It must have been fate because we met on the last night he was going to be on the site. He had already cancelled his subscription when I happened to send him an IM invitation. We started to talk and soon met up, and well, here we are, planning our wedding! I have never met someone who completed me the way that he does and I have this website to thank for that.
Thank you so much Mate1.com!
