| Site | Type | Min Age | Cost/Month | Link |
| Serious Dating | 18 | £22.80 | Go to Match.com | |
| Match.com are the biggest dating brand in the UK, and one of the grandfathers of the online dating scene. With a buzzing community and human reviewers checking every profile, its certainly a safe place to start. Match.com were recently bought by Meetic, who also own DatingDirect (below). | ||||
| Serious Dating | 18 | £24.99 | Go to DatetheUK | |
| DatetheUK is run by an Edinburgh-based dating agency called EasyDate. A comprehensive site with a strong community, it is definitely a competitor to Match.com’s dominance. Its key selling point is its support for videos, both on your profile and when chatting to other members. | ||||
| Serious Dating | 18 | £22.80 | Go to DatingDirect | |
| DatingDirect was founded in 1999 and is part of Meetic, the newest owners of Match.com. Like Match.com it is focussed on serious relationships, and is quite a trustworthy place to start. Like DatetheUK it supports posting videos to your profile. DatingDirect regularly hold parties around the UK, which is a great way to get involved in the community. | ||||
| General Dating | 18 | £19.99 | Go to SpeedDater | |
| SpeedDater are relatively new to the scene compared to the giants above - they were formed in 2004. In 2008 they were bought by EasyDate - the owner of DatetheUK. SpeedDater are the masters of event-based dating, and although their online community is not quite as developed as the bigger competitors, they’re a good place to go if you actually want to meet like-minded singles offline. | ||||
| Flirty Dating | 18 | £24.99 | Go to Be Naughty | |
| Be Naughty are EasyDate’s less serious offering, especially there for the more flirtatious and saucy dater. Be Naughty allows you to push the barrier a little further than the average Match.com or DatetheUK profile, and is perfect if you’re looking for a casual affair rather than serious love. | ||||
| General Dating | 18 | Free | Go to PlentyOfFish | |
| Founded in the US as one of the first completely free dating sites, PlentyOfFish doesn’t charge you for anything. It has been building up an increasingly healthy UK community of late, and is a good choice for a budget dater. Be aware that PlentyOfFish don’t manually review any entries, so look out for bogus profiles and spammers. If you’re feeling confident however, you can save those pennies for your first date! | ||||
| General Dating | 18 | £20.99 | Go to GirlsDateForFree | |
| The name is quite self-explanatory - if you’re a girl, there’s no charge. If you’re a bloke, its £20.99 per month. Run by a company called Allegran, GirlsDateForFree is one of the smaller sites out there, and the community is an odd mix. Even though the girls get in for free, it doesn’t seem to be the most vibrant site out there. | ||||
