I'm sure I remember a thread a while back recommending a good site that you pay for? It's for a friend. TIA

Ive been on Dating Direct, which is also linked to Match and its crap. Dont bother. PLenty of Fish is free.....give that a go.

She's been on there, pof, but not for long. I'll tell her what you said though thanks.

Don't know the site name, but its connected to the Guardian newspaper, app v good. My BF is still dating the man she met on there 6mths ago. She had previously tried mysinglefriend but said it was rubbish.

mysinglefriend is by far and away the best site.

Always use a site where you have to have a clear face photo.

Always use a site you have to pay for (its a good first test for the man being 'serious' about meeting someone)

Curiousmama · 17/05/2010 16:59

Yes I agree foureleven, I was lucky meeting dp on pof but I know others who've found some right idiots on there! I'll tell my single friend about it
