For serious long-term relationships, reviewers say eHarmony.com is the best choice. The site takes a more scientific approach to dating through a time-consuming questionnaire containing 256 questions. Many reviewers admit that they learned a lot about themselves just by completing it. However, the site doesn't allow users to perform their own searches. Reviewers also point out that eHarmony does not offer same-sex dating options.

Site for casual dating

Lavalife.com offers three communities: relationships, dating and "intimate encounters." You can post your profile in one, two or all three areas. In practice, though, reviewers say it's a better site to use for casual dating that for serious relationships. It has a user-friendly interface, and mobile and anonymous phone services are available for an extra fee.
