Internet dating has got over its 'desperate' image and is now being used by millions of people as a fun and accessible way to meet their match.
Whether you're looking for true love, a fun fling, romantic evenings or other singles in your area - there are loads of sites out there to help you. Many offer dating possibilities to all singles or they may have a specialist service for a certain type of straight single. And with new ones popping up all the time, you're spoiled for choice.
Get to know people by taking advantage of features such as live chat, video dating and email, or flirt with someone you've met online using SMS dating. Most sites will let you create a 'favourites' list, so you won't forget anyone that's caught your eye, and in case there's someone you don't like - you can block members from contacting you if you wish.
So, where to start? If you're new to internet dating, why not take a look at our info library for advice and further information - or see below and start comparing sites now!
