Citydate has unfortunately closed down its dating service. That’s a pity, as it was comprehensive, easy-to-use social networking-style free dating site with loads of members.
Fortunately, if you’re looking for some of the same features and perks in other free dating sites, there are quite a few new and old free sites that are still around that can offer you a similar type of experience. Here’s a fiew:
Plentyoffish.com – PlentyOfFish is a massive dating site that was built from the ground up to be a social networking platform as well as a free dating site. While now it’s become a little bit like the Craigslist of free dating, there are millions of members and the site is clean, simple and easy to use.
eHarmony.com – eHarmony is one of the most well-recognised names in free online dating, and it definitely deserves its reputation. It’s great for if you don’t live in major cities, or outside of the US or the UK, because they have members in over 200 countries, and it’s very easy and simple to set up a profile and start meeting people.
Mingles.com – Mingles is a full-service free dating website that gives you instant access to everything you need to get started in online dating. The best part is the comprehensive profile and matching system, which gives you the best chance of meeting up with someone in your area who shares common interests.
PerfectMatch.com – PerfectMatch is a free dating site that aims to match people up for the long haul. As such you won’t find many people looking for casual hook-ups, but their remarkable compatibility matching system works incredibly well at setting people up with partners who live nearby and share the same interests. If you’re looking for a long term partner, PerfectMatch is your best bet.
DateHookup.com – DateHookup is perfect for those who have been out of the dating game for a while, and want to take it easy getting back in. You’re allowed to upload 24 photos, and put an astounding amount of detail on your profile. This means it takes some time going through all the potentials, but you’re more likely to find someone with whom you have a good chance of long-term happiness.
SocialGrid.com – This social networking-come-free dating site takes all of the powerful social networking ideas of CityDate and delivers them in a modern, easy-to-use fashion. Profiles are comprehensive, and the emphasis is on expanding your network through common connections to meet people you would normally meet and want to date in real life. As an experiment in free dating, it’s really taking off.
These are great places for you to start when dipping a toe into the world of online dating.
