Online
Dating Service Reviews
|
DatingDirect.com
is the UK's largest dating service (per Nielson Netratings June 2005)
with over 3 Million active members each having a detailed profile.
Established over 6 years ago as a place for
singles serious about finding a partner, DatingDirect.com does away
with gimmicks such as free trials, nicknames and un-moderated chat
rooms.
All profiles and photographs submitted to the site
are reviewed by the dedicated team at DatingDirect.com to help ensure
that only genuine profiles go live on the site.
Numerous
Media Quotes, including this one from The Times 01/05:
"DatingDirect.com has secured a status as the UK's biggest online
dating service, seeing off American rivals such as Match and that
provided by Yahoo... As a consequence, membership is not merely cool,
it has a cultish feel, leaving those in couples pressed enviously up
against computer screens like children with their noses against a
sweet-shop window."
A Couple of the Many Site Testmonials:
"....I was very sceptical at first, not really thinking it would work.
Anyway I decided "nothing ventured nothing gained" and sent 6 emails, I
received 4 replies, Becky was one of them....
...since I last contacted you Becky and I have got engaged, we are so
happy.
A big thank you to all at DatingDirect.com, meeting Becky has made my
life complete." - Graham
"Neither of us can believe our luck and keep pinching ourselves
everyday at how lucky we are that our paths crossed. We are very
thankful to your website and wish other single people out there every
luck in finding there soul mate!" - Shivon and David |
