DatingDirect Free Membership Features

Editor's Note: I had to hide the members' pictures and usernames for legal and privacy reasons in some of the screenshots below. The screenshots are meant to give you an overall idea of what you'll experience with the dating service. Rest assured that you'll see real pictures of singles with usernames when you open an account!
Email Account

DatingDirect provides with an email account so that you don't have to use your personal email address when you start communication with other members.

Absence Manager: You can activate this feature if you are going to be away from the website for a while. The system will then be alerting members who send you emails.

Note: Although you can access this page with your free membership, you can't send email to anyone without purchasing a subscription.
