Our field test

★★★★★ 3.0/5

"I have been trying the site for almost six months now. I can say that it's okay but the truth is, I'm actually looking for other dating sites already. Not that I have experienced being scammed or what. It's just that, I can't establish a strong contact with anyone. Each time I message someone, it's either she doesn't reply at all or we only end up talking for hours. Next day, she's gone. No response anymore - at all! So, I guess I'll find my luck in another dating site. I won't delete my profile, though. It's free, anyways. Who knows? A wonderful girl might message me in the future."

Design & usability

As to the functionality and usability, FDating is okay. Yet, as to design, this is probably where the site could use some help. Each page has only two touches of colours: white and blue. If not for the profile photos and the flags, you might feel that the site is overly plain and simply old-fashioned.

Your homepage displays the number of members who are currently online. It also shows the users who are celebrating their birthdays right at the moment. Lastly and below, it shows a list of members who have recently registered.

If you're one who gets bored easily, then you might not enjoy the site fully unless and until you make contact with someone. Aside from the lack of special features, the design of the site might quite get you disappointed, especially with the number of ads you see on every page you visit.

Overall, though, to give the site some credit, it's easy to use and navigate. You don't need to be a computer geek or a high-techy millennial to understand its functions.

Special features

Unlike other relatively modern matchmaking communities, the site lacks some exciting special features. But here are some of the things you can check apart from messaging members or viewing their profiles:

Who's ViewedFree

This simple feature shows you who has viewed your profile, and how many times it has been viewed in the last 30 days.

“FDating is friendly to adult users, but it might not be that appealing to daters of the new generation. Overall, we can say that even if there's no assurance that you can find your match, you can still try it as everyone's own experience is not always the same.”
