Loopy Love is a fun dating site with a general audience and may appeal more to a younger user. It emphasises the social aspect of online dating and encourages making friends and flirting a little with other online members (of which there are currently around 1.5 million).
The site allows webcam/video profiles, livechat, and promotes local dating in London. Loopylove's additional features include a photo wall of all members for swift browsing through members' photos and members can use 'Loopy lovebombs' - sending a message to hundreds of members at a time.
Non-paying members can send limited messages in addition to the usual free profile and photo uploads, searching and browsing. For fuller features you will need to upgrade.
We like that they offer a 3-day trial so if you sign up for a few quid and spot a few profiles you'd be interested in pursuing then you can sign-up just for those few days - plenty of time to initiate contact and get an email address or two so you can continue contact later on. We also like the the fact there are so many members - plenty of choice.
Prices: Loopylove offers a short 3 day trial for £4.99. Longer membership plans cost £19.99 for 1 month, £27.99 for 2 months, and £47.94 for 6 months.
