Top 7 Dating Sites of 2010
How do you know which dating site is right for you? We’ve compiled a list from all our readers, and here are the top recommended best dating sites for 2010:
| Match.com is one of the most popular dating sites on the web, with over 15 million members. Sign up and create a profile for free, then you can browse other members and send them ‘winks’. Once you are ready to send a message to someone, only then do you need to register and pay the monthly subscription fee. So there is no risk to try for free. | |
| Chemistry.com is a rather new dating site, but it stands out from the crowd by taking a different approach than the typical ‘profile matching’ most dating websites do.
Launched by Match.com in February 2006, Chemistry.com was created to bring together independent-thinking, confident, diverse singles that are serious about finding a meaningful relationship. Based on the research of renowned biological anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher, Chemistry.com is dedicated to helping our members start the conversation to determine if there’s Chemistry. Here’s how they do it: 1. Members get to know their matches long before they meet each other, plus the site gives fun and unique activities to flirt and discover more about each other. 2. Chemistry.com reveals upfront what our members have in common with each other. 3. Chemistry.com gives insight and advice about each member’s personality type and the personality type of his/her matches. 4. Online coaching materials show our members how to write more effective emails, then share tips on making their first date as successful as possible once they are ready to meet. The 3-for-1 (3 months for the price of 1) promotion going on now is a pretty good deal, if this sounds interesting to you now is a good time to try it out. |

| Lavalife is a relatively new dating site, but it is getting rave reviews from its members. Unlike other dating sites, there is no membership fee — all features are free except for messaging and email. To use those features you purchase credits, so you pay only for what you use. Since there is no membership, you can create an account and try it out today! | |
| SinglesNet is the top-ranked dating site in the USA. Â It is very easy to get started, with a 30-second personality profile. Â Once you are registered, you can use the SinglesNet compatibility search to find members near you who match your profile. Â SinglesNet will then identify potential matches and send alerts to your inbox.
The free membership allows you to post your profile and search members, as well as send winks and flirt. However you need to upgrade to a paid membership in order to message other members. Paid memberships also have higher priority in search results and customer support. |

| Don’t let the name fool you, FriendFinder is a great site for those seeking serious relationship and romance. Not to be confused with AdultFriendFinder, this site is for people seeking friends, activity partners, dating, or even marriage. Sometimes the best relationships start when people just want to get to know each other as friends first. You can search by zipcode, to find people near you interested in meeting up. There is also a Magazine section with articles, polls, and workshops on dating. Basic membership is free, and includes messaging to Gold members only. | |
| Date.com is one of the largest and most popular dating sites, with over 8 million members. Â It is a very broad site, with a very diverse base of users from all walks of life. However most of the users tend to be on the young side (twenties and thirties) and educated, professional types. Â Some are looking for casual dates, while others are looking for more serious relationships. Â So you’re bound to find someone interesting on Date.com. Â You can post a profile for free, but actual contact with potential dates requires a paid membership. |
So there you have it — our top picks for best dating sites of 2010. Many of these sites offer trials and other offers to save you money, but for the most part their pricing is pretty similar.
