One of the internet’s most popular dating sites is also it’s most user friendly. Utilizing all the basic attributes as well as some others that help make finding good matches less of a chore, match.com has proven itself indespensible for anyone in search of love online.
If you’re just looking to meet some nice people, signing up for eharmony.com would be like getting a Ferrari when all you need is a bicycle. Nevertheless, they guarantee their results and match you with other singles who are about as compatible as scientifically possible.
Known primarily for its ratings of “hot” or “not,” this site has recently added matching to its repertoire. An extensive population of singles make it worth a look.
craigslist.com - As an online classifieds, most visitors are searching for apartments or free furniture, but their singles listings are definitely worth a look as well.
Not nearly as comprehensive as match.com, this site makes up for its shortcomings with volume. Each day they will e-mail users a list of potential matches directly to their inboxes.
This site, which markets itself exclusively to college students (go figure), doesn’t measure up to any of the standards of the others. But with a younger constiuency, collegelove.com is still worth the time.
