Compare and Try the 5 Top Online Dating Sites for Free.

Overview
Online dating may seem a bit intimidating, but it can also lead to the match of your dreams. I should know having met my wonderful wife of three years through an online dating site! One of the best aspects is being able to search for a match based on things like hobbies, religion, education, age, looks, location or income. You sure can't get that by barhopping! Meeting someone online is also very exciting. There is nothing quite like logging on to see "You've Got Mail" from someone of interest. It can be addictively fun to say the least... and often lead to much more.

Bottom Line
Each of the sites presented here provide comprehensive online dating services and large member databases - two of the most important things to look for in an online dating site. Perfectmatch, which offers the most precise personality matching and has surged in popularity, is our top choice. Yahoo Personals features a strong selection of singles throughout the US with photos posted and comes in second followed by Chemistry.
