Harmony Partners Christian Dating Service

Harmony Dating Partners
Billed as a free Christian dating site, I couldn't figure out what made Harmony Partners different from any other dating site, Christian or otherwise. No mention is made of the supposed religious slant of the site other than on the first page. This, along with other serious and confusing issues, makes Harmony Partners a dating site that didn't make it to my recommended list. For more details as to why, read on.

Overview from Harmony Partners

"Are you looking for love? Then you should join Harmony Partners Free Online Dating Site Service For Christian Singles because with free registration and no subscription or membership fees you won't ever have to pay a penny."

What a Harmony Partners Dating Site Membership Includes

Harmony Partners offers the standard fare of free dating site services, including instant messaging, email, 'kisses' (ways to show interest without actually sending an email), forums, match lists, hot lists, saved searches and the ability to block users. The site also offers live chat and video features, but when I visited, neither feature was working.

Harmony Partners Sign Up and Membership Details

Strangely, guests cannot search through the Harmony Partners website (even to see if there are any registered members in their area) before signing up. Even more strangely, singles who'd like to sign up must verify their email address before filling out the registration.

The somewhat confusing sign up process (because of grammatical errors and some odd questions) is four pages long, and took about 15 minutes to work through. Although there were many pull down menus that offered a lot of different demographic options few other sites offer (such as the marital status section, which had ten choices), some questions were strange at best - such as the one where you had to choose one type of food out of a huge list, but only ethnicities were listed. I have a feeling this question was supposed to be about where one was born/raised, but was changed later on down the road.

After the pull down lists, one then has to fill out a length profile, with no way to do so later. Several of the questions require "at least" five lines; frustrating for someone who just wants to see if there are others on Harmony Partners in their area before investing any more time into the website. (Which, in my case, there weren't any).

When searching, the information asked of you during the sign up process isn't automatically filled into the search, so you'll have to input the same information again.

Harmony Partners Membership Costs

As a free Christian dating site, Harmony Partners does not require that any of their members pay a fee. Having said that, it is obvious that Harmony Partners is making some money from the website, as both a donation box and advertising is found all over the site, and frequently this content appears above the fold, and before the information you'd requested. And although many free dating sites have chosen this business model, I found Harmony Partners' ads to be in the excessive and annoying range.
