General dating websites with no particular niche or entry criteria.
BmyLUV – International Friends
Jun 6th
Dating sites come and go but you can usually tell a lot about the site (e.g. whether or not any effort has gone into it) by its design. So it’s refreshing to see sites with a unique stamp and a format that shows it to be something that someone has put some effort into building. Bmyluv.co.uk is one such site. The graphics may not be to everyone’s taste but the ‘no frills’ approach is so much more appealing than the many sites that bamboozle the visitor with fancy graphics and slow loading pages laden down with odd gimmicks and scripts. The site has a UK and a USA version and is powered by White Label Dating’s vast and ever growing database so there’s plenty of scope here for the online dater and with free and unlimited (no time limit) free membership you’ve nothing to lose by giving this one a try.

DatingDirect.com is part of the France based Meetic network which has sites in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Asia, and Latin America. Due to the size of the network and their experience within the industry they are able to offer a large and popular general dating website for the UK. In early 2009 they launched the DatingDirect Affinity program which is a new approach to matching profiles. In July 2008 the DatingDirect.com recorded the most individual visitors to a dating website in the UK and the Meetic group’s websites contain a total of 28 million profiles in Europe of which 5 million are based in the UK. This is a slick and professional dating website which takes its role and responsibilities very seriously. If you’re in the market for cyber romance then DatingDirect.com should be on your list of websites to try.
Date UK
Jan 14th
Date.co.uk is owned by Spark Networks Ltd, an American company with over ten years of experience in the dating industry in the USA. Date.co.uk is their offering to the UK dating market and they have drawn on their past successes to offer a feature packed site in which you’ll find a tongue in cheek astrology guide. It’s a bit of fun and helps to break the ice when wondering what your opening line should be when contacting other members. The star sign guide is just one of numerous articles in their directory and they appear to add more each month. The FAQ page is not extensive but there are plenty of articles about online dating safety, dating tips and relationship advice. The language is (understandably) American in parts and the tone is not too serious, but there are some fundamental guidelines in there which should be borne in mind while using any online dating website. Many of the larger towns and cities in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are represented.
