Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about DatingLinks and online dating.
What is DatingLinks?
DatingLinks is a curated directory of dating sites, apps, and resources. We organize hundreds of dating-related links into categories to help you find the perfect platform for your needs, whether you're looking for serious relationships, casual dating, or niche communities.
Is DatingLinks free to use?
Yes! DatingLinks is completely free. We're a directory service that helps you discover dating platforms. The sites we link to may have their own pricing models (free, freemium, or paid subscriptions).
How do you select which sites to include?
We evaluate sites based on reputation, user base, safety features, and overall quality. We don't include every dating site out there — only those we believe provide genuine value to users. We also regularly review our listings to remove defunct or problematic sites.
Do you receive money from the sites you list?
Some links on DatingLinks may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you sign up through our link. This never affects our editorial decisions or which sites we choose to feature. Our primary goal is to help you find the right platform.
How do I know if a dating site is safe?
Look for sites with verified profiles, photo verification, and strong moderation. We've also included a 'Safety & verify' category with tools to help you verify identities and avoid scams. Always meet in public places for first dates and trust your instincts.
What's the best dating app?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer! The best app depends on what you're looking for. Tinder and Bumble are great for casual dating, eHarmony and Match.com focus on serious relationships, and there are dozens of niche apps for specific communities. Browse our categories to find what fits you.
I found a broken link or outdated site. What should I do?
Please let us know! Email us at [email protected] with the details and we'll update our directory. We appreciate your help in keeping DatingLinks accurate and useful.
Can I suggest a site to be added?
Absolutely! We welcome suggestions. Send the site URL and a brief description to [email protected]. We'll review it and add it if it meets our quality standards.
Are there dating sites for specific religions or ethnicities?
Yes! We have categories for faith-based dating (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and more) as well as sites focused on specific cultural backgrounds. Check out our 'Faith dating' and other niche categories.
I'm over 50. Are there dating sites for seniors?
Definitely! Our 'Senior dating' category features platforms specifically designed for people over 50, including SilverSingles, OurTime, and others that cater to mature singles.
How can I protect myself from dating scams?
Never send money to someone you haven't met in person. Be wary of profiles that seem too good to be true. Use reverse image search to verify photos. Meet in public places. Check out our 'Scam defense' category for more resources and tools.
Do you have LGBTQ+ dating options?
Yes! Our 'LGBTQ+ dating' category features apps and sites for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals, including popular platforms like Grindr, HER, and Taimi.
