| Rank | Dating Site Link | Our Review |
| 1. |  | eHarmony is our No.1 UK Dating Site, which has proved to be hugely successful in the UK since 2008. Easily the best for lasting relationships rather than quick flings. Excellent matching system is the winning feature - THIS DATING SITE WORKS. |
| 2. |
 | Dating Direct is enormous, so you really are spoilt for choice on this dating site. Not so focused on matching, so browse to your heart's content... Been around for 11 years, and grown to be the UK's largest dating site. |
| 3. |
 | Parship has teamed up with The Independent newspaper, so lots of singles from their readership (gives you an idea of Parships's demographic). As dating sites go, this one is up there in quality alongside eHarmony. Ideal for finding romance across Europe as well as the UK. |
| 4. |
 | Match.com is one of the golden oldies, but still one of the best. It has lasted because it does everything very well and has broad appeal. A safe choice. They also do a special deal - if you buy 6 months and don't pair up, they'll extend your membership for another 6 months. |
| 5. |  | A spin-off from Match, Match Affinity is another of the profiling dating sites with a clever matching system. It does work, but we think eHarmony's system is more effective. This dating site has a broad choice of singles, but is geared towards ages 35-50 who are looking for long term relationships. |
| 6. |  | Cupid.com does a different kind of matchmaking from the other dating sites. It simply matches you with local singles. This reduces your options, but means you can easily meet face to face. Which helps! |
| 7. |  | Midsummer's Eve trumps all these other UK dating sites by being free, but still being very good. Much smaller, so less choice, but well worth searching to see if there's anyone with potential... what have you got to lose?! |
| 8. |  | Be2 has been going since 2005, and has over 18 million users worldwide. If you'd like to search all over the world for singles aged over 30 in search of a long term relationship, try this dating site (and try and find someone who lives near a beach). |
| 9. |  | Matchmaker is apparently the longest running dating site, having been around for 14 years! They must be doing something right. Aimed at more mature clientele aged 35+ who are marriage minded. |
| 10. |
 | Lavalife has three distinct 'communities' for different kinds of dating relationship, from friendship through to 'intimate'. So this is an all round dating site to end up with if you have not clicked on any of the others above... |
