New Online Dating Service - eLove - Takes Different Approach to Online Dating

(onlinedatingmagazine.com - December 22, 2006) A new online dating service, eLove, is taking a different approach to online dating by requiring members to first meet staff at an offline eLove office before having their profile approved for the eLove site.

Here's how the process works: Potential eLove members meet in-person at a local eLove office with an experienced consultant who first screens them to qualify for membership. This provides the security and face-to-face authentication that eLove claims is lacking in current online singles services. eLove also promises that their online dating service will be free of pop-ups or any other form of "annoying advertising". Video and audio clips members can ad to their profile are taped on eLove premises. All additional photos are authenticated by the company before being uploaded to the membership database.

"Because of gross misrepresentation, the online dating services we’ve seen so far are a disappointment and waste of time and money for so many members,” claims Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove and author A Singles Guide To Finding The Right One. “Phony members, out-of-date photos and profiles, lack of responses – these are common frustrations with web-only services. With eLove, those problems are completely eliminated. Bottom line: eLove is a cool new hybrid of the old and the new. It’s an online forum where real people can introduce themselves to real people and feel confident enough to arrange face-to-face meetings.”

eLove is calling itself a new dating hybrid; "offering the best of both online and traditional dating services."

Right now the service is focused on the Boston area, however it is expanding quickly and members in other areas can still sign up. eLove is an affiliate two offline dating services - The Right One and Together Dating - with offices in dozens of cities.

The major features of eLove are:

» Pre-screened, pre-qualified member base.
» 100% of members are real people.
» All members are legally single.
» Face-to-face screening and authentication by an experienced, local relationship expert.
» In-house, on-site video and photo services ensure up-to-date and authentic member images.
» Criminal background checks.
» Guaranteed responses – members are required to respond to profile inquiries before they can view more members online.

"I love what I do, and I want everyone to have the happiness that comes with finding the best person and most compatible partner for them,” Falzone continued. “To find someone, you have to put yourself out there and interact with other people. eLove is going to make it safer and simpler for people to connect with others and be successful in finding their match. No more married people masquerading as singles, no escorts or others with a different agenda. eLove is a sincere community of singles with the common goal of finding a meaningful relationship.”
