match.com is the sister site to chemistry.com. As one of the biggest players in the industry it gives you a higher chance of finding people in your area than some of the smaller sites. It is free to sign up, but as usual this gives limited functionality. There are often free trials and big discounts available if you sign up but don’t subscribe straight away. This site has a 6 month guarantee but it is important to check the terms of this carefully or you may find you have missed out. There have also been reports of recurring payments being taken so make sure you cancel your membership in good time if you no longer want it. Depending on your membership level (free or subscription member), you may be able to use the following functions:
- Create a profile, including uploading a picture
- Search for potential dates, using a wide variety of criteria including match words (like keywords)
- Read profiles
- Yes/No/Maybe function. If you click ‘yes’ then the other person receives an email telling them you’re interested
