Black Singles has three different ways that you can send an interest notification. They offer the option to send a “card” (similar to an e-card), a “smile,” or a “spark” (both of which are preformatted phrases that individualize your interest from other suitors as well as help guide your initial conversations). |

You have access to the message boards to see what is posted, but you are unable to reply. |

| Notes |
Black Singles is a part of the MingleMatch network of dating sites. MingleMatch specializes in dating sites that are targeted to specific demographics (religious, ethnic, regional, and special interests). |
| |
|
| |
The MingleMatch network of sites all work off of the same platform. You couldn’t distinguish one of their sites from another, aside from the members present in it. |
| |
|
| |
Black Singles bills itself as the place to “meet with other African-American singles for friendships, online dating, and more.” |
| |
|
| |
One great feature of the site is the various search functions available to you. You are given the option to search by location, most recently logged in, and even by people with today’s birthday. |
| |
|
| |
Black Singles does a great job of providing you with local profiles. Simply punch in your zip code and your choices will be promptly displayed. |
| |
|
| |
There is also an option to search by keyword, which I don’t recall seeing at any other site. Each keyword listed in a profile (for example: outdoors) is hyperlinked. As you click on this link, it will pull up a search screen of other member’s profiles that list the same keyword. Pretty cool. |
| |
|
| |
If you’re only interested in finding an African-American match, Black Singles is a great place to post your profile. Give them a visit and check them out. |
