Engage Free Dating Site Review

"Engage was founded in 2005. Our goal? Make it as easy to meet new people and explore an attraction online as it is to discover someone new at a trusted friend’s party, out in the real world." - From Engage.com's About Us Page, July 2008.

The concept of Engage is simple: ask your friends to join the site (whether they are single, married or somewhere in between). Then, ask them to refer their friends to you to date. Its a new twist on the blind date, in that you'll actually know this time who your friends are trying to set you up with.

Unfortunately, Engage seems to be having sign up issues at the moment; neither I nor any of the people I asked to take a peek at the site for me were able to open an account. If you were able to get into Engage, please send me an email at dating.guide@about.com with the details.

The nature of Engage is what makes it different from most free dating sites. Not quite matchmaking (in that there are no lengthy questionnaires to fill out or interviews to sit through) and not just social networking, Engage offers its users a less frightening way of meeting new people to potentially date than, say, asking your friends outright, "Hey, want to set me up on a blind date?"

Engage is a free dating site, with no membership fees.
