eHarmony Black dating

Black dating in the UK with eHarmony

Rating: 5

eHarmony was launched in the UK in July 2008, as an alternative online dating site for singles looking for a long-term relationship. In the USA eHarmony.com has developed into the most trusted relationship website, being responsible for nearly 5% of all new U.S. marriages.

eHarmony’s Compatibility Matching System is based on a rigorous scientific approach to relationships and they have developed models of compatibility particularly adapted for the British resident Black population.

eHarmony.co.uk matches you with like-minded Black singles based on key dimensions of compatibility, such as humour, intelligence, passion.

There's a quite long and detailed questionnaire to fill out in order for the system to work well, but the benefits can be tremendous!

You don’t have to limit your search to UK Black singles. But if local is important to you, you can adjust your location settings to suit you.

Another important aspect about eHarmony, is that you can’t search profiles. They’ll rather send you compatible matches (as they say, „eHarmony: a relationship site, not a dating site“)

1 month full access costs £39.95

Rating: 3,5

The full membership allows you to use the following features: full search, send emails, video chat, send winks & kisses...

Costs:
1 month full access to BlackDatingGroup.co.uk costs £12.97, but they have a 7 day trial for £1.99.

BlackDating.co.uk

The professional service for online Black dating and networking

Rating: 2,5

BlackDating.co.uk is a relatively new dating site focusing on Black dating.

From the usability and design point of view, you can tell that they still have to improve their site, and maybe drop some of the adverts that appear all over the place, probably to monetize the site, since as part of their launch they are offering 12 months free membership to all new members (you'll be able to send and receive email, join the chat rooms and even use the instant messaging interface).

Costs:
First 12 months are free!

BlackUKDating.com

Free friendship & dating for Britain's diverse BME community

Rating: 1,5

BlackUKDating.com is part of Black UK Online (owned by Black Media Network), a website set up to provide a unique blend of local, national, and international news, lifestyle, views, reviews, profiles and entertainment in reference to the Black community.

The large community of Black UK Online readers combined with the initial free access to BlackUKDating.com can be a successful hook for this Black dating site. However, the poor design and difficult usability of the site, together with the small percentage of the members who have photos, make it difficult for us to give them a good rating.

Costs:
Basic membership is free!
