Best Online MatchMakers

Q: I'm ready to start dating again after being divorced for nearly 3 years; which New York City on-line dating services are most reputable?

Within the online dating space, Match.com is the largest while eHarmony.com, True.com and Yahoo personals close runners up. But big does not always mean better, so finding a dating site that suits your preferences and lifestyle is important. There are matchmaking sites that appeal to singles within certain age brackets (PrimeSingles.Net), marital status (singleparentsmingle.com), interests (Fitnessdates.com), race (Blacksingles.com) or religious denomination (Jdate.com).

At a local level the personals section on Craigslist.com, VillageVoice.com and TimeOutNY are popular options but these days more people seem to be making connections through friends of friends on social networking sites such as Facebook.

While each of these may do you well, you will probably have more fun (and hopefully success) attending an organized dinner (8at8.com), lunch (ItsJustLunch.com) or event (Speeddating.com or Meetup.com).

Just one question before you get started. Why limit yourself to NYC when New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut are only a short distance away?
