About Match.com
Match.com has been helping singles find love since 1995, making it one of the longest-running online dating services. The platform is geared toward people seeking serious, long-term relationships. It offers detailed profiles, compatibility matching, and a variety of communication tools including messaging, winks, and video dates. Match also offers in-person events and a 6-month guarantee — if you don't find someone, you get another 6 months free.
Editor's Review
Match.com has been connecting singles since 1995 and still sets the standard for serious relationship-focused dating. The subscription model filters out casual browsers, and the quality of profiles reflects that — but you do need to pay to get anything meaningful out of it.

Match.com has been connecting singles since 1995 and still sets the standard for serious relationship-focused dating. The subscription model filters out casual browsers, and the quality of profiles reflects that — but you do need to pay to get anything meaningful out of it. What I liked most was established platform with a large, mostly serious user base. That said, no meaningful free functionality — subscription is required to message. Worth knowing: free users can create a profile and browse matches, but cannot send or read messages. you can see blurred thumbnails of who liked you.
