COMMUNICATION FEATURES
In online dating, communication is key, which is why many dating
sites such as Match.com offer several communication options from
virtual 'winks' to online 'ice breakers'. You may also want to
consider a site like Lavalife, which is one of the few that offers
video communication. Some dating sites however, such as
Chemistry.com and eHarmony, only offer compatibility matching and
therefore do not even allow you to communicate with others at all
unless you were introduced by the sites' matchmaking systems.
Services such as these may be ideal for you if you prefer to remain
anonymous. more
SPECIAL FEATURES
While you can do without most of the extra features they offer,
some dating sites have features that really stand out and should be
taken into consideration when you decide on a service. Match.com,
for example, offers mobile dating where you can login securely from
your cell phone. Chemistry.com offers free help with creating your
profile so that they can offer the most relevant matches possible.
eHarmony offers a free personality assessment that can help you
better understand yourself and pinpoint exactly what you're looking
for in a match. more
MEMBERSHIP BASE
Aside from having an impressive list of features, the ideal
dating site should have a large pool of singles with which they can
potentially match you. While some sites may cater specifically to
Canadian singles, other sites which may not have been created
specifically for Canadians can often provide a greater chance of
meeting the prefect Canadian match due to their large membership
bases.more
SEARCH OPTIONS AND MATCHING ALGORITHMS
Compatibility matching services offered by sites like
Chemistry.com and eHarmony have successfully suggested thousands of
long-term matches based on personality, scientific "Dimensions of
Compatibility" and other specific qualities. Other sites such as
Match.com, offer powerful search features that enable you to find a
match based on the traits that matter most to you. If you're not
sure which type of dating site will best suit your needs, you can
also try a site that offers both such as PerfectMatch offers the
best of both worlds, although may not have as a large a pool of
potential Canadian matches. more
NICHE DATING CATEGORIES
If you are set on meeting singles with a particular nationality,
interest or religion, there are sites that specifically target
singles based on a specific niche, such as SingleParentMeet.com and
JDate. These types of sites have much more homogenous membership
base which is helpful if you are set on only meeting singles that
classify themselves based on these niches. You may be surprised
however, to learn that often, the larger mainstream dating sites
have more singles belonging to a specific niche than even dating
sites that cater exclusively to that niche. more
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
While some singles prefer to express themselves openly and
honestly online, others prefer to keep their identity private. For
this reason, most online dating sites offer a variety of privacy
and security options. If you prefer privacy, you should be aware
that in some cases like on PerfectMatch, if you hide your profile
you cannot receive match suggestions. Your privacy settings can be
easily adjusted in the profile section of most online dating sites.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Chances are you will never need to actually get in touch with
your dating site, but it's still reassuring to know that a site
offers helpful customer support. With the exception of
Chemistry.com and Match.com which offer a customer service phone
number directly on their Contact Us page, most online dating sites
offer only FAQ pages and email support. We've tested the customer
support of the top Canadian dating sites and ranked the quality of
their customer support. more
