Great Expectations Review

“Your new relationship starts right here” is the kickoff for Great Expectations, and with such a lead-in, how can one not have great expectations. Great Expectations is NOT, however, a dating site. It’s a dating service, and while this brings positives and negatives, the personal care you’ll get is unmatched by any online dating site you’ll come across.

Be prepared: You need to have a significant amount of money to use this service and it’s best if you’re in or near a major metropolitan area. But the rewards are unmatched, and the commitment to helping you throughout the process is comforting.

Great Expectations membership costs

Signing up on the site is free. However, there is no description of cost on the site. You are required to meet an agency representative face-to-face to be accepted to the site, and that is where cost is discussed. While cost depends on the city, typically it is in the thousands of dollars.

But an explanation of the reasoning of the costs: Great Expectations screens and validates ALL vital information, it maintains current photos and videos to ensure accurate representation, and it does this by meeting EVERY member face to face. That’s right…if you sign up for Great Expectations you must go to one of their regional offices. A very cool and reassuring feature – provided, of course, you can get there.

What do I get from Great Expectations?

You fill out a pretty standard questionnaire on the Web site, and within 24 hours a representative of Great Expectations contacts you to set up a meeting and your professional photo shoot.

At this point, you answer more questions in greater detail. For example, you’re asked what some of your problems have been in past relationships, be it trust, money, etc. You don’t see this question asked on a standard dating site, and it’s a symbol of the detail and the personal touch of Great Expectations.

Once accepted as a member, you can engage in video communication through the site: Talk in a secure channel with each other using your web cams as a way to avoid some of that normal first-date awkwardness.

Who’s on Great Expectations?

There are few numbers given by the company itself, so pinning down a specific membership number is difficult. But if you look around the Web, you don’t find people who used this site and are on the fence…people either love the site or hate it, a likely result of the cost. The fact is, anyone who is a member of Great Expectations is someone who is serious about settling down and finding love. You don’t spend this kind of money on a fling, after all, so the price, if affordable, should also offer you some security.

Summing up Great Expectations!

Great Expectations has been around for 30 years, so they are obviously doing something right. The big problem seems to be that the site isn’t up front about what it really is right away, and people don’t research it before leaping in. If you can make a significant time and money commitment, Great Expectations has the success stories to prove it can deliver. You just need to know what you’re signing up for.
