I became a member with hopes to see and communicate with my love interests but uDates would actually charge you separately to continue talking to them. They have this coin system that you have to pay for that is outside of your membership. So if you run out of coins, you can't continue chatting with your love interest. You have to purchase separately from your membership. That's crazy! Once you become a member you shouldn't be charged separately to talk to someone. Smh!
