Dating Direct Reviews

Dating Direct UK Reviews

When it comes to online dating in the US, Dating Direct is an authority.  After all, it’s widely-considered as the largest online dating site in the UK.  But of course, largest doesn’t mean the best.  So we gathered all the Dating Direct UK reviews that we can find in the hopes of finding out once and for all if there’s a good reason why the site has over 3 million members.

Active Site

The site is always buzzing with activity.  It’s not that hard to imagine considering the sheer number of members.  We also browsed around and it seems that there’s an almost equal ratio of men to women.  You know what this means.  There is no shortage of men or women depending on what you’re looking for.

Someone in our team signed up for the service just to check out the activity.  In a span of one week, she already received hundreds of emails.  That’s hundreds of potential partners.  Finding love on the site may be easier and faster than we expected.

The Commitment of Dating Direct when it Comes to Safety and Security

The site won’t “feed you to the sharks”.  Some online dating sites will basically set up a “free for all” where it’s very hard for members to feel secure.  According to the Dating Direct UK reviews that we read, most members feel secure about the site.

• Profile review

When we signed up for the site, it took more or less 24-48 hours before our profile and photo were approved.  Apparently, more than a hundred hawk-like moderators manually review everything that you submit to the site.  If your submitted information, photo or video doesn’t comply with the site’s terms and conditions, it will be rejected.  So the site is off to a great start as far as security is concerned.

• “Let the moderation team know” feature

This is a very handy feature.  If someone is being abusive or is displaying inappropriate behavior, click on that link and the moderators will be notified.  They will quickly review the incident and will act accordingly.  You will be notified via email with the results.

• Blacklist function

Sometimes, it can be pretty annoying to receive messages from people that you don’t really like.  With the blacklist function, you can easily block them from sending you messages.  There’s also the “unavailable mode” feature that you can activate if you don’t want to be disturbed while you’re browsing profiles.

A Trusted Service Overall

We won’t name names, but there are some online dating sites that are reportedly inflating their membership count with fake profiles.  Among the countless of Dating Direct UK reviews that we checked out, no one has experienced encountering a fake profile in Dating Direct.  In addition, the site is committed to making sure that members are not “forced” to sign up by any form of 3^rd party company.

Varied Search Options

When we say that Dating Direct has varied search options, we mean it.  The site is not limited to recommended matches and simple searches.  Here are some of the most popular search options on the site:

• 1-Click Search

This is probably the most popular search option because just as the name implies, searching is very easy.  With just a click of your mouse, you can easily find singles living close to you.  You can even find someone who was born on the same date as you.  A lot of people also search for their perfect matches.  This will be based on the information that they put in the “about who I’d like to meet” field.  On the other hand, searching using the option “I’m their perfect match” will show you results of people who are specifically looking for someone like you.  Of course, the “My Soulmate” option is the most popular based on the Dating Direct UK reviews that we saw because you’ll find your perfect match who’s looking for someone like you.

• Quick Search

If you only have a few criteria in mind, the quick search option is very helpful.  From the site, you can easily search for people within your preferred age range or for people with photos.  But don’t limit yourself to a few criteria.  You can also fill in as many criteria as you want to produce more specific results.

Add your Favourites

It may sound tacky at first, but this is actually a very handy option.  While browsing profiles, you can mark the ones that you like and put them under “favourites”.  This is a good way to keep track of people that you like.  If someone adds you to his or her list of favourites, then it’s clear as day that they’re interested as well.  No more guesswork!

Final Verdict

After checking out the site, it’s now very easy to see why there are a lot of positive Dating Direct UK reviews.  It is one of the best online dating sites and is probably the best in the UK.
