4. OKCupid.com
OK Cupid is the second largest free dating site online which caters to singles 30 and younger. The site offers Android and IPhone apps and appeals to web savvy singles. With OK Cupid you can send out a list of questions a match must answer before communication begins. This is an optional feature that allows you to “get to know” more about someone before opening up a line of communication. Matches are based on your match questions; you level of activity on the site and 55 different personality traits determined by personality testing. You will be sent a list of matches, if you contact a match on the list you will be sent new matches the next day. If you do not contact a match on the list OK Cupid won’t send out new matches for seven days. Like I said, level of activity is directly related to the success of finding a match on OK Cupid.
5. DateHookUp.com
Date Hook Up is competitive with OK Cupid due to the fact that it appeals to younger singles and college students. Taking into consideration the sites name, “Hook Up,” you won’t find it odd that the site doesn’t offer the option of stipulating what kind of relationship you are looking for. In other words, if you are looking for a long-term relationship, Date Hook Up probably isn’t the dating site for you.
