So, we promised you that the online dating services would be throwing out their most aggressive (and generous) promotions for Valentine’s Day this year and the deals are officially underway.
Lavalife is one of the most established players in the field, and their offer (just made public) is for 7 days of completely free access to their site. Unlike other sites, you can use the site completely to do all of the following for 7 days:
- Unlimited emailing with all other members
- Unlimited instant messaging with all Lavalifers
- Search and view all profiles (including photos)
- Free video sharing
This is probably one of the better deals – and it’s for a full 7 days. They require a credit card to get the trial, but our experience in the past has been that it is easy to cancel your trial before the end of the 7 day period.
By requiring members to use a credit, it also makes Lavalife one of the bigger dating sites that succeeds in weeding out most of the spammers and scammers – are you tired of being approached online by mysterious members in Africa, Russia and the like, pretending to live in your city and having ridiculous profiles rife with misspellings and grammar mistakes? When members have to provide a valid credit card, you help get rid of about 99% of the freewheeling gold diggers and fraudsters.
I am actually a member of Lavalife for over 2 years now, and I like it because you don’t actually buy a monthly membership – rather you buy “credits†in batches of 50 or 100. Then, depending on the type of contact you wish to have with another member, it will cost you a certain amount of credits. Those credits don’t expire at the end of the month! Sending another member an email costs 6 credits for example… and 50 credits is about $18. Don’t pay the full price; search this site for Lavalife discount coupon offers. 
How big is Lavalife ? How about 20,000 new members every week? OK, new members doesn’t mean new unique people – keep in mind that people forget about, or abandon, old Lavalife accounts and eventually come back. Nonetheless, the number is impressive. They also have a strong presence in Canada as well as the USA.
The Lavalife Valentine’s 7 Day free trial is a must!

C’est très intéressant d’avoir l’opportunité d’utiliser tous les services de Lavalife gratis pour une semaine et je vais certainement en profiter car je recherche toujours « l’homme de mes rêves » alors si je peux le trouver en ligne……. Pourquoi pas!
Par contre, c’est important de noter que Lavalife est bel est bien disponible au Canada depuis longtemps (je crois que ca débuté au Canada!) mais il y a relativement peu de membres de Québec comparé à d’autres sites de rencontres Canadiens ou Québécois.
Sorry I wrote in French my English is not very good. I like Lavalife and the 7 free days offre but it is not the best dating site for singles in Quebec I think.

Lavalife rocks way above eHarmony, the eHarmony free communications weekends are a joke – I have never met ANYONE through EH, but have had at least 4 great dates through LL and they were nice guys. Jen
I hear you Jennifer. I met my guy on LL and it’s been great. I never even considered eHarmony but that doesn’t mean EH doesn’t work. I know a couple of friends who had good times with nice guys on EH.
