Match.com
Founded in 1995, Match.com offers many user-friendly features to make online dating easy, rewarding and fun, whether you are a newcomer or a veteran. The large number of Match.com members increases your chances of finding many more interesting matches close to home, and allows you to be as selective as you choose to be when looking for matches on Match.com.
Having a large membership also makes Match.com a good choice for baby boomers and seniors. Even though Match.com is open to people in every age group, Match.com (like many online dating sites) allows you to restrict your search to people within a certain age range. You will usually find a good selection of potential matches that are close to your age, but with Match.com, as with any online dating site, the size of the geographical area you choose will affect the number of potential matches you will find.

compatiblepartners.net
Gay and lesbian singles looking to find love can now use eHarmony's patented matching technology through the new service Compatible Partners (www.compatiblepartners.net) to be matched with others who seek meaningful long-term relationships. The first 10,000 people who register on Compatible Partners will receive a free six-month membership.
Compatible Partners features a thorough questionnaire that captures users' unique values, attitudes, personality traits and interests. Unlike other online dating sites where members search and browse through "picture and paragraph" profiles, Compatible Partners custom delivers matches to each user based on their responses to the questionnaire.
Compatible Partners also features a structured and secure communications process that allows matches to communicate at their own pace, ask important questions early and get to know each other at a deeper level than other online dating sites allow. Members can communicate with their matches through the Compatible Partners system without having to divulge their personal contact information until they are ready to do so.
