C-Date.co.uk is a casual UK dating site. A casual dating site is basically one where a much more adult theme runs through the site with a focus on physical relationships and flings rather than long-term commitment.

This means it is a good choice if you do not want to be tied down and want to enjoy a physical relationship without ties.

This will be immediately obvious when you signup as you are asked about several intimate details such as your fantasies and sexual requirements.

Although C-Date.co.uk is aimed at the over 30′s it is actually open to anyone over the age of 18. Therefore if you are under 30 do not be put off, there are plenty of similar aged members using the site.

One thing to be aware of is that C-Date.co.uk is also a couples dating site. This means that people can register with their partner if they are looking to add more fun to their relationship by hooking up with other couples and singles.

Your journey on C-Date.co.uk starts immediately when you signup. You will be asked a few questions about your sexual needs and what you are looking for from a partner as part of the signup process.

Then, as soon as you complete that the software will find you an instant match based on your answers. You can then choose whether or not to contact that person. This is fairly unique as I have not seen any other dating sites that do this but you will have to become a paid subscriber to contact the match.

Key Benefits of C-Date:

• UK Casual dating site
  
• Designed for flings not serious relationships
• Couples seeking other couples and singles are allowed
  
• Instant match so you can start flirting immediately
  
• Big price discounts on longer-term memberships

To be successful on C-Date you have to be open-minded. Sexual activity is discussed in a very open manner on the site and some members can be beyond flirtatious even on the first message they send.

However, despite the adult theme, you never get the feeling that C-Date.co.uk is a seedy low-brow dating site. It is presented professionally and tastefully in a way which is not too intrusive.

The biggest downfall I found during my C-Date.co.uk review was the pricing. With prices starting from £14.90 a month on a 12 month subscription you can end up paying as much as £34.90 a month for the shortest subscription length of 3 months.

This is why C-Date only gets 3 stars in my overall rating.

C-Date.co.uk Review – Summary:

C-Date.co.uk is a professional and sensual casual dating site. If you are looking for some fun and are happy to discuss sexual activity openly then you will find it fits the bill perfectly.

However, if you are looking for something more committed from a relationship, are easily embarrassed or simply prefer not to spend too much then you would be better off looking at something more like Dating-Direct.

Overall, C-Date.co.uk has a lot to offer and is well worth checking out if casual dating sites are what interest you the most. Registering an account is free so you can take a look at what it is all about before you part with any cash.

Unlike some of the other dating sites I have reviewed on here, Cupid.com is actually a USA based dating site. However, they are included as they do have a big presence in the UK with plenty of UK members.

During my Cupid.com review I found that the site was easy to use and included all of the features you would expect to see on a popular dating site including chat rooms and member blogs.

It is a professionally run site that seems to have plenty of active members to talk to, however the exact number of members has not been revealed.

Cupid.com is run by a small team of about 25 people, it is not a dating site run my a major corporation. What this means is that you get a pretty good service when you need it and the cost is pretty reasonable starting at £6.99 a month.

Click here to register your free account at Cupid.com

What you get for this is similar to the services offered by some of the big name sites. For example you can wink at members before you make contact to see if they are interested.

You can see some of the members photos without having to subscribe but to see them enlarged or to see the full collection you do need to upload your own photo. As profiles with photos tend to get better responses it is a good motivation to get you active on the site.

Key Benefits of Cupid.com:

• Run by a small team rather than a big corporation
  
• Professional and easy to use
• All the usual features such as winks, chat rooms, and blogs
  
• Good range of UK based members
  
• Low cost pricing plans available

Cupid.com has the same search functions as many other UK dating sites such as searching by location and who is online now.

You can also create friend lists so that you can easily find and contact those you have previously spoken to. The members homepage gives a great snapshot of what activity you have done and received such as how many people have winked at you or viewed your profile. You can also drill down to see who has actually viewed your profile.

This all comes together to make a good solid dating site. The downside is that because it is not a strictly UK based site there perhaps are not as many UK members to choose from as on other sites, however I found there were still enough to make it worth the subscription charge.

Cupid.com Review – Summary:

Overall the conclusion of my Cupid.com review is that it is a good site with many of the features other sites offer but with a lower price tag.

£6.99 a month is pretty low-cost for what you get, especially given the professional look and feel of the website. The customer support is pretty good if you need it due to the site being run by a small team rather than a large company.

There is also plenty of information about other members such as the date and time of their last login. This helps to ensure you do not waste your time contacting inactive members. Cupid.com is probably one of the best dating sites you can get full access to for less than £7 a month and therefore gets a thumbs up from me.

eHarmony is a UK dating site that takes a professional and trustworthy approach to online dating. Sometimes it is misspelt as eHarmoney.

Using a unique personality profile that you create when you first join the site it is designed to help match you up with people that have similar personalities and views as your own.

This helps to ensure that you have the best chance of finding a long-term partner rather than a quick fling that is destined to fail.

One thing that makes eHarmony different to many dating sites is that it is based on a highly detailed survey that was carried out by the sites founder, Dr. Neil Clark Warren.

Basically he compiled a questionnaire that was completed by over 1,000 happily married couples. This data was then analysed to help identify the key personality matches that make a good relationship.

Click here to register your free account at eHarmony

From this data Dr. Neil Clark Warren constructed a complex questionnaire for new users to complete that then helps to match you with suitable dates.

What this all means is that eHarmony is giving you a great chance of finding true love and not just another relationship that is doomed to failure from the start.

Because of this personality matching approach, a lot of the hard work of finding suitable matches is removed so you can find like-minded people almost immediately. This is great if you have limited time or are new to online dating and a bit sceptical about it all.

Key Benefits of eHarmony:

• Over 5 million members (mostly UK based)
• Personality matching questionnaire
• Comprehensive personality report
  
• Relatively low-cost monthly fees
  
• Detailed advice articles and features

The downside is that the initial questionnaire you have to complete to get access to your matches is quite long and you will need to give yourself at least 30 minutes to complete it – although you can save it and come back to it.

Another downside is that you can only view peoples photos if you subscribe to the paid service. This is fairly uncommon with dating sites as most let you see a persons photo and only subscribe when you are ready to talk.

Therefore eHarmony will only suit you if you base your relationship more on personality and compatibility rather than looks.

eHarmony Review – Summary:

eHarmony is a great, innovative approach to online dating. The personality profile you create by answering a series of questions seems to be fairly accurate and is used as the basis to find your best matches.

Unfortunately the questionnaire does take a long time to complete and you also have to pay to view your matches photos.

However, this should not put you off what is otherwise a great UK dating site for you if you want a long-term stable relationship based on personality rather than a quick fling based on looks.

As the name suggests, DateTheUK is a online dating website directed purely at people in the UK.

Owned by the same company that operates BeNaughty, DateTheUK also uses the same members area functionality and layout.

The only difference is that the members on the site are looking for more serious relationships than those on BeNaughty.

Despite the fact that DateTheUK uses the same members area and same pricing as BeNaughty, I have given it half a star less as the overall rating.

This is due to the fact that there just isn’t the uniqueness and fun that you get with BeNaughty. In fact it is a pretty standard dating site that lacks some of the cutting edge other options offer.

Click here to register your free account at DateTheUK

A couple of plus points for the platform though is that they do offer a 6 month guarantee whereby if you do not find love after 6 months you get another 120 days of full access for free.

As well as this the cost is also pretty low starting at just £6.99 a month. This makes it ideal if you have a tight budget and are prepared to sacrifice some of the fancy frills other sites offer.

Key Benefits of DateTheUK:

• Over 5 million members (all UK based)
• Simple ‘no frills’ members area
• Chat, messaging and interactive search features
  
• 6 month love guarantee
  
• Low cost pricing plans available

The downfall of DateTheUK is definitely the lack of advanced tools at your disposal in the members area, however this can also be considered as plus point.

The fact that the fancy added tools are not around means that the members area is very simple to use and easy find your way around.

Sure there are still your usual dating site additions such as chat, messaging and search but the questionnaires and matchmaking tools you see on other sites are not there to use.

However, this simplicity means that the cost is lower than on many sites too with the Gold pricing plan starting at just £6.99 a month based on a years subscription.

DateTheUK Review – Summary:

DateTheUK should be considered as a budget option for those who find the added features on more expensive sites to be more of a gimmick than a serious love finding tool.

It is a smooth site that is well presented and as such makes it ideal for you if this is your first adventure in to the world of online dating. The added bonus of a 6 month love guarantee make it worth a serious consideration for joining.

Although a sister site to the more risque BeNaughty, the profiles on DateTheUK are far more high brow and suited well to you if you are looking for a serious relationship rather than a quick fling.

BeNaughty is a dating site that throws away the traditional rules of online dating and replaces them with a fun new angle where the whole process is not taken too seriously.

It is aimed more at people who just want casual relationships so if you are looking for a long-term serious relationship you would be better off with something like Dating-Direct.

However if you do want the fun without getting tied down then BeNaughty offers a great way for you to meet people with similar desires.

One thing you have to be prepared for is the explicitness of some members photos. Topless and very risque photos are at the front of many members profiles.

This is a sign about the kind of site that BeNaughty is intended to be. The name suggests it all really as it is a dating site for those who are just looking for fun without the commitment.

Of course you do not have to put such photos of yourself online but if you are easily offended then BeNaughty is not for you.

However, if you go in to it with an open mind and fully understand what it is all about then you will not find a better dating site that caters for casual flings.

Click here to register your free account at BeNaughty

Do be prepared too that many people on the site are already in relationships, often even married. Their partners do not always know that they are on there so be prepared for people wanting to cheat on their partners and keep things low-key.

Key Benefits of BeNaughty:

• Over 15 million members (many UK based)
• Designed for flings not serious relationships
• Chat, messaging and interactive search features
  
• Most members have photos, including explicit ones
  
• Low cost pricing plans available

The members area of BeNaughty is pretty standard for dating sites which makes it nice and easy to use.

You have an interactive search function, the ability to see members online now, new members, and even those who are chatting now.

This can make it easier to find people you want to flirt with and perhaps setup a meeting.

There is also an active community area on the site with member blogs and a forum for you to interact with users on a new level.

One thing we should point out is that a site of this nature often attracts spammers to create profiles. This does happen on BeNaughty even though the admins are pretty good at removing them quickly.

However, if you do get messages from people that seem to be too good to be true then treat it with extreme caution.

BeNaughty Review – Summary:

BeNaughty is a UK dating site that offers an alternative way for people who are just looking for casual fun to find like-minded people.

It is very reasonably priced with membership plans starting from just £6.99 a month and there are plenty of members on the site.

You do have to watch out for the spammers and scammers and the members area is very similar to other dating sites. However there are a few additional features such as the member blogs and forum that give you something different.

Overall if you are looking for something fun and are not ready for a serious relationship then BeNaughty is probably the best UK orientated site you will find.

Match Affinity is a new site from Match.com that throws away the traditional online dating approach by becoming your own personal matchmaker.

The procedure is simple, spend a few minutes filling out a personality profile when you register and Match will do the hard work and find compatable matches for you. This avoids you having to spend hours trawling through profiles looking for those you have something in common with.

This is a great way of dating online. OK so you have to spend about 30 minutes to answer the questions for your affinity test (designed by expert psychologists), but once that is done, Match go ahead and do the the hard work for you.

This makes it a much more efficient way of online dating and therefore is ideal for you if you have a busy lifestyle and struggling to find time to browse through hundreds of profiles.

The Match Affinity test itself seems to pretty accurate and tends to come up with some pretty good matches. Furthermore you get the option of only sharing your photo with someone if you first agree.

This is great if you are a bit shy or are embarrassed about doing online dating (not that you should be!) and dread someone you know seeing your profile.

Click here to register your free account at Match Affinity

The key thing to remember with Match Affinity is that the dating is generally based on personality rather than looks. Therefore if you think there is more to love than just appearance it is a perfect match for you.

Key Benefits of Match Affinity:

• Over 5 million members (mostly UK based)
• Fast and easy – the system does the hard work for you
• Comprehensive affinity survey to construct your personality profile
• Protect your identity – only reveal your photo when YOU want to
• Access to relationship experts via telephone

Just to re-inforce the message that this is based on personality rather than looks, you only share your photo with someone if they request it……and even then it’s up to you. This means if personality is by far the most important thing to you, you can ensure that this remains the case.

As well as all of this there is also a dedicated team of relationship experts on hand to answer any questions you have. Whether you need to know what you should and shouldn’t do on a first date or just want some general tips for making a good impression you can get the opinions of the experts.

Match Affinity is geared towards doing the hard work for you so you can spend more time enjoying life whilst also giving you the privacy and control over who you interact with and what information you give them about yourself.

Match Affinity Review – Summary:

Overall Match Affinity is a fun and unique way to find your true love without it taking up too much of your time.

This makes it well suited to you if you are career driven and do not get to spend much leisure time online. It also makes it perfect for you if you have tried the more traditional forms of online dating without much luck.

Because your matches are driven by personality suitability, there is much more chance of your finding your dream partner. Match Affinity takes appearance almost out of the equation and let’s your true colours shine through.

Unfortunately Quick Flirt gets the lowest rating possible with just 1 star. This is simply because for the money it costs there are better, more professional looking dating sites around. That is not to say you cannot find love through Quick Flirt though, it is possible I just believe you have a better chance with one of the other sites I have reviewed such as Dating Direct.

Click here to get a free profile at Quick Flirt

Let’s just take a second to look at some of the positives of Quick Flirt (shouldn’t take too long!). It has a nice function where you can withhold your photo so that people have to request to see it and you can choose whether you will allow them to see it.

Quick Flirt also gives you the ability to upload videos and view other peoples videos. This can be great for really getting across your personality, however, it is nothing new as many other online dating sites have this function.

Key Benefits of Quick Flirt:

• Ability to withhold your photo from people
  
• Function to upload and view members videos
  

Quick Flirt would have probably got another star from me if it wasn’t so expensive. The site looks like it has been produced on a low budget and you would expect to see that reflected in the subscription prices. Unfortunately it is not, the cheapest option still costs £13.33 a month and you have to subscribe for 3 months to get that deal.

Summary:

Unfortunately Quick Flirt is one of the worst UK dating sites I have tried. It looks bad, it is difficult to navigate and it isn’t cheap neither. It does have a couple of good functions but nothing that really justifies the subscription price.

If you want a good dating site then you are better off looking elsewhere such as Dating Direct or Match.com, however, if poorly designed sites are you thing then perhaps you will like Quick Flirt!

Although not a parent myself I still was intrigued by Dating for Parents and signed up to see what it was like inside. I was pleasantly surprised and I think you will be too. The layout is very clean and it is pretty easy to use too. Everything is kept pretty simple so if you are not fantastic with computers and the Internet you should still find it pretty easy to use.

If you are new to online dating then there is a very handy tips and advice section which is packed with valuable information for any single parent hoping to find love online. There is also an online parents dating magazine under dating features which provides more tips and the latest news in the parent dating world.

You can slo easily see the latest single parents that have joined the site, this means you can get in there first and say hi to anyone who takes your fancy….before anyone else beats you to it.

Key Benefits of Dating for Parents:

• Over 580,000 UK members
  
• Specifically for single parents
• Easy-to-use search functions
  
• Invaluable online hints and tips database
• Free to join and low monthly fees

The subscription options are quite expensive at £6.99 a week or £19.99 a month, however, if you are prepared to commit for a longer period then you can get a 3 month subscription for just £29.99 which brings the monthly cost down to a very reasonable £10 a month.

There is also a mobile version of the site which allows you to access Dating for Parents direct from your mobile phone. This costs £5 (payable through your mobile phone) for 4 days and is great if you are always on the move or will be away from your computer for a few days.

Summary:

Overall it is a little difficult for me to give a fair review of Dating for Parents since I am not a single parent myself. However, looking around the site it ticks all the boxes for what makes a good online dating site.

I have given it 3 stars simply because it is not aimed at me, however, if you are a single parent and want to meet other single parents in the hope of finding love then you probably will not find another site more suited to your needs.

Parship is one of Europe’s largest dating websites and the UK branch is very fast growing. It uses the basis of matching you based on your personality rather than searching through thousands of profiles. This works quite well making it good for you if you want to find love fast.

Click here to join Parship UK for free today

When you first join Parship you will be asked to complete a short personality test. This test takes about 20 minutes to complete but it is essential to your success. The matching process and the research on which Parship is based comes from the work of a qualified doctor – Professor Hugo Schmale. This means you can be sure you are in the hands of a professionals who know how to find you love.

To give you an idea of how large Parship is in the UK, after signing up and completing the personality test I was presented with a staggering 1,258 potential matches. Each of these have been matched by the results of my personality test and their location. Each match is shown as a percentage, the higher the percentage the closer the match.

This means that not only is Parship incredibly large but it also gives you a great chance to find your soul-mate who shares the same interests and thoughts on life as you.

Key Benefits of Parship:

• Over 4 million members across Europe
  
• Personality matching to help you find a soul-mate

Basically it is guaranteed that you will make contact with at least 10 other members of Parship, otherwise you get another 6 months for free. Although this isn’t as comprehensive as the guarantees that come with Dating Direct and Match.com it is still an added bonus.

Summary:

Parship is a very impressive UK dating site. Simply complete a short personality test and Parship will do the hard work for you, finding you compatible and available dates at the click of a mouse. Based on the work of a real professor the credibility of their matching process cannot be questioned.

If you do not enjoy the common dating site technique of searching through hundreds of profiles then Parship is the best alternative available. Parship UK  is the next best choice if you have already tried my number one recommendation (see Dating Direct Review) and you have not had any luck with my number two dating site (see Match.com review).

Girls Date For Free is trying to set a new trend in online dating by offering all females the chance to get a free subscription. They obviously feel that men are more likely to pay if there are a lot of girls on the site. This is great for the women but personally I do not think they have any more female members then other sites.

However, managing your dating activity can be a little confusing, your favourites just go in a big long list that doesn’t appear to be sorted in any particular manner. This can make it difficult to find someone who you tried to save so you could contact them later down the line.

In addition it is a little unfair to men when girls get full access for free. As previously mentioned they are doing this to try and attract more ladies, believing that then the men will follow and pay for it. I guess for women this is a very good feature but for the men it can also mean you get some women on their that are not that serious about meeting anyone.

Key Benefits of Girls Date For Free:

• Search via geographical location
• Full access is free for girls
  
• Add your videos to showcase your true personality

Full access for men costs £9.99 a month which is not too expensive but it is not great value for money either when you consider my top rated UK dating site (see Dating Direct review) costs the same, is much better presented, is easier to use, and basically – you get more for your money.

Summary:

Girls Date For Free is one of the weakest UK dating sites I have tried and reviewed, it is poorly designed and not very user friendly. In addition it’s potential for helping you find love is quite poor.

However, if you are female and do not want to pay for a dating site then Girls Date For Free, as the name suggests, allows you to do that. In this situation it is worth a try but if you can afford a paid subscription to find love faster then there are better sites available to you.
