Welcome to The UK Dating Sites Review, a shortlist of the best dating sites for 2012
We have been highlighting the top ten best dating sites year after year since 2007. Some have risen to the top, making relationships and marriage happen on a daily basis. Here is THE definitive list of the UK dating sites that consistently get good results.
The majority of the sites here are for serious daters who want long term relationship, although we have also included a couple of the better sites that cater for those looking for more light-hearted interaction (GirlsDateForFree for instance!). Enjoy!
Our top dating site for 2012 is match.com…
| Rank | Dating Site Link | Our Review | Link |
| 1. |  | match.com is to dating what Bosch is to dishwashers - you are not going to be disappointed with what you get out of it! Traditional dating site that does everything well, focusing on a quality browsing experience rather than trying to match you up using an algorithm. | Check it out! |
| 2. |  | Dating Direct is the largest dating site in the United Kingdom, and it is undeniably huge. Which means, of course, CHOICE, which is pretty much exactly what you want when you are looking for someone to share your life with. Try this site if you get a kick out of browsing through profiles, rather than getting a handful of matches in your inbox every day. | Check it out! |
| 3. |  | If you want the high quality of match.com with some matchmaking techy stuff thrown in, then start right here! A popular alternative to eHarmony, and pretty much does the same thing. | Check it out! |
| 4. |  | eHarmony has topped our dating site charts since 2008 when it took the UK by storm. High quality dating service with phenomenal success at matching people. This is a site for serious dating, for long term relationships. Hundreds of singles joining every day - be one of them! | Check it out! |
| 5. | 
| Be2 has less brand recognition than eHarmony, but for ages 35+ this dating site is hard to beat. It's huge, with members worldwide, and has an amazing track record of successful relationship starts for over 35s. They also offer a £5 trial - got to be worth signing up for a month. | Check it out!  |
| 6. |  
| Girls Date For Free is a dating site we highly recommend for men, simply because the choice of girls is huge! Whereas for girls, you might be fighting for the popular guys, so there are definitely better choices for you. Bloke over 28? Have fun! | Check it out! |
| 7. |   | Cupid has a simple idea - help you meet men and women who close enough to where you live to meet up with easily. Great for singles who like meeting up face to face. | Check it out! |
| 8. |  | Friends Reunited are not all about hooking up with old friends - they are great at helping you make new friends too! This excellent dating site follows on from the success of the FR brand, and does dating really well. Recommended! | Check it out! |
| 9. |  | Swoon is serious about finding someone that will sweep you off your feet. They have a sort of test to figure out what makes you attractive to others, and what attracts you about others. It's a great foundation for a dating site - we like it! | Check it out! |
| 10. |  | How about getting in on a brand new dating site that is high quality, easy to use, and fun? And also completely free. Go and join now - you'd be crazy not to. | Check it out! |
| 11. |  | Midsummer's Eve is more like a social network than a dating site - that's because the people on it are genuinely friendly and starting relationships is easy. It is the only free dating site in our list, because most of them are rubbish. This one isn't. | Check it out! |
