OPW — Apr 2 — Lavalife has been unique amongst top tier dating system for the longest time, offering members a credit based billing system. That's now changed, as of mid-March. Lavalife membership is now $29.99 a month. The credits based billing system was especially appealing to twenty somethings and, I think, to those more interested in casual relationships.

Lavalife is shifting it's focus, ever so slightly, by changing it's billing system.
