RSVP
RSVP is a dating website that caters to individuals looking for serious relationships rather than casual flings. After this website’s launch on Valentine’s Day 1997, RSVP has become one of the largest dating services in the country, with thousands of new members joining monthly.
You can use this dating service on either a desktop or as a mobile app. When you sign up for a free membership, you can create a profile and browse through potential matches. With the free version, you will not be able to initiate conversations, but other people with paid memberships can reach out to you. If you want to take a break from the site, there is an option to put your membership on hold for a certain amount of time.
This website also offers users the chance to complete a personality report. After answering several in-depth questions, you will receive a 5-page report detailing your unique personality and your compatibility with others.

Match.com
As people grow older, many find that dating can be challenging. The expectations of work and home-life can leave little time for finding a partner. Match.com is a good website for singles over 50 years old who are looking to date. Many of these people have experienced divorce or had their partner pass away and are looking to open their hearts again. Even though this site is ideal for older adults, they accept all age groups.
There are over 250,000 people currently using Match in Australia, so you will have plenty of candidates to choose from. When you exchange messages with other members, you can both remain anonymous if you desire. Once you feel more comfortable with each other, you can share your real name, phone number, and/or photos of yourself.
Depending on which subscription you select, Match also offers certain guarantees. For instance, if you do not find a partner within 6 months, they will give you the next 6 months for free.

The cheapest plan allows you to get to know the website in a short period and decide if it is right for you.

Bumble
This well-known dating service is particularly popular for short-term flings, but it has also resulted in many strong relationships. One of the main attractions of Bumble is that the women must send the first message. This is perfect for confident women or shy men who have trouble making the first move. The platform also gives you prompts to fill out for your profile, such as answering what your ideal date would be. This is a good icebreaker, as it gives other members information to comment on and react to.
With Bumble, users swipe through photos of other members until they find someone they like. Then they swipe right on that profile. If the other person swipes right on them as well, this is a match. This dating service is convenient for busy people who are always on the go because it is compatible with Android and iOS devices.
For the convenience of users, you can auto-fill your photos and information directly from Facebook. You can also select between a wide range of gender identities, so you are not limited to only males or females.

OkCupid
OkCupid asks users many in-depth questions to add to their profile. This gives other members plenty of information about a potential match before they even connect. Overall, it saves both parties time, because they can review the questions and answers and estimate their compatibility quickly. Once that you decide you like someone, you can send them a message. They will only be able to see it if they like you back.
OkCupid appeals to people of all ages, but most users range from 25-34 years old. When a user first signs up, they will need to choose what they are looking for in a relationship. This could include long-term relationships, short-term dating, or new friendships. By narrowing this distinction down, the matching process is more effective.
With a free membership, you can view the profiles of users and send messages. Once you have a paid membership, you will be able to see who likes you and utilize certain other features.
