Like most singles seeking a fresh start, she chose a familiar brand name and joined one of the largest dating sites on the market. It was also 100% free.
The dating platform had endless dating profiles for her to sort through, but not enough features to help her identify a perfect match. To make matters worse, dozens of unscreened matches and messages flooded her inbox every day.
She couldn’t keep up with it all. Online dating became work, not fun, so she deleted her dating profile without going out to meet a single person.
Truth be told, if my friend had done a little bit of research before she joined the dating site, she would’ve seen that there’s an online dating service for just about every niche interest and dating preference — from Jewish singles to single parent dating — and all of them offer something a little bit different from the rest.
Of course, most singles don’t have the time or inclination to do a lot of in-depth research in the dating world. That’s what we’re here for.
Reviewing dating sites is our job, and we love finding different dating sites to help singles have the best experience. So, we have ranked different types of dating websites and apps that the average dater should know about. We’ve selected the best dating sites and apps in every niche category we could think of.
Oh, and just for good measure, our experts answered some frequently asked questions about meeting new people through an online dating service. Let’s get to it!
