Following activation you are ready to use the metrodate site by logging into the site. You must be above 17 years or older to join this site.

Login & Customizing Profiles
Like most of the other dating sites, the login is a normal procedure of entering your email/username and password.

When you login the first time, the user is encouraged to fill the basic yet essential information including personality, habits and life style. Other information to enter includes what kind of partner you are looking, his or her personality, habits and life style. You can also mention you favorite TV programs and movies.

As far as privacy is concerned you cannot set any rule or criteria to block users from looking at your profile or sending message.

Users can block other users only after searching if he or she did not like the person and this gets added to the ‘Not Interested’ list.

Browse & Search Feature
Browsing through the website, you are presented with plenty of menus and selections to various parts of the site. The menus are positioned at the top of the website.

Under ‘people’ menu you can browse and search for your date or any members in various ways like quick search, advanced search, favorite list, online friends, and flirts.

The quick search feature does not look impressive as well as being effective because every time I used it, it only shows one member. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

You can also search a member by entering a specific members’ name, if you know their username already. Advanced search feature options lets you to search by specifying personality, habits, lifestyle, location and distance.

Online search feature enables you to see who’s online. Any people you add to the favorites section will appear in your favorites list.

In the flirt section part of the menus you can see those persons whom you can flirt with and that person can flirt with you. You can also add any members which you don’t like or not interested into your ‘interested section’.

Messaging

The messaging is a critical part of any dating website because it’s the medium used to communicate with other members of the site.

Like many other 100% free dating websites you can send an email message to any member of the site.  However, a peculiar behavior of the site that I observed is after you first join metrodate you cannot send a message until about an hour.

You can send a flirt message to show your interest and using the chatting feature you can also chat similar to yahoo chat room, which some people will like. You can chat in different ways like public/main chat room, asia chat room, adult chat room. Within any public chat room, you can invite members for a private chat. Sending winks or gifts are not available on this website.
