We may be in the final stretch of 2024, but that doesn't mean that finding love this year is out of the question. In fact, it's just the opposite.
Fall is, without question, the most romantic time of the year. So if you're still searching for that someone special, we've got some good news for you. Leaf peeping, apple picking dates and a PSL with a soon-to-be significant other could be in your future pretty soon.
So here are 3 dating sites, built with forever relationships in mind, which focus on compatibility-based matching and substance over swiping:
1. EliteSingles
If you’re a career-oriented single who is looking for a fellow high achiever, then you’re likely to appreciate what EliteSingles has to offer. This is a high-end dating site for singles who don’t have time to waste and have very high standards.
EliteSingles narrows down its pool of singles with an extensive compatibility test that users take upon signing up. Be prepared to set aside about 30 minutes for the personality test, and to pay a bit more than you would for some other dating sites.
The extra investment is worth it—EliteSingles boasts an impressive pool of singles that consists of 82% university graduates, who are 30+, and whose stated goal on the site is to find a long-term committed relationship.
2. Zoosk
Zoosk is one of the world's most popular dating sites with some 35 million users, but it still puts the emphasis on quality over quantity.
Zoosk’s Behavioral Matchmaking system learns your preferences through your activity on the site and gives you increasingly more accurate results tailored to what you’re looking for.
It picks matches who have compatible likes, tastes and expectations, so that you can be sure to find only those who are seeking real relationships, like you. The idea is that getting sent one great match per day is better than having to sift through hundreds of profiles that may or may not be suitable.
Zoosk also boasts advanced security features so you can be sure that your date is who he says he is—and looks like his profile picture.
3. Match
Match is perfect for the online dater who is serious about nurturing a genuine relationship and wants to find someone equally ready to commit - 38% of members have had a relationship that began on the site.
Match is designed to make the whole online dating process as easy as possible. They offer lots of extras for members who are new to online dating - like tips to help your profile stand out.
Plus, they regularly host offline events, such as bar and restaurant meetups, which help create the kind of community you won’t find on any other dating site
Now that you know where to head in 2024, love might just be within the palm of your hands.
