Popular dating sites are popular for a reason. They just have that special something, and they bring millions of singles together.

In the Broadway musical “Wicked,” Galinda (before she became Glinda the Good Witch) says popularity isn’t “about aptitude — it’s the way you’re viewed,” and people who are popular “hang with the right cohorts,” are “good at sports,” and “know the slang” they’ve got to know to fit in.

The popular sites on this list have got something going on that wins people over, and we’re here to put our finger on what that magic ingredient is.

Free Online Dating Sites Live Chat

Whether they have great success stories, advanced search filters, large membership bases, or a just plain impressive interface, the following popular (and free) dating sites have a lot to offer the singles of the world, and we recommend jumping on the bandwagon and giving them a try.

1. Match.com

OF

Starting with the best of the best, Match has had more than 42 million signups since 1995, and it still sees more than 39 million visitors a month. Not only is it active — it’s successful, too. The dating site has facilitated more dates, relationships, and marriages than any of its competitors. A standard Match account is free and includes a variety of searching, matching, and communication features. Within minutes, you can create a profile and start searching for compatible dates in your area.

OkCupid

OF

Founded in 2004 by Harvard students Chris Coyne, Christian Rudder, Sam Yagan, and Max Krohn, OkCupid has been listed among the top dating sites (and apps) for a good reason. Since its launch, OkCupid has been completely free to everyone forever. The site (and app) has some premium features that singles can pay for (being able to see who liked you and ranking higher in searches), but they totally aren’t necessary to find an ideal match. OkCupid is responsible for creating over 91 million love connections a year and 50,000 first dates a week, and we expect it to only grow with time.

Plenty of Fish

Free popular dating sites 2020
OF

Plenty of Fish is another dating site that hasn’t charged a penny (not even for messaging) since its inception. The site also says it has more conversations than any other dating site, with users exchanging over 1 billion messages a month. The first step is to take Plenty of Fish’s chemistry test. Then the site will pinpoint your specific relationship needs and get to work finding that special someone for you. Recently, Plenty of Fish was acquired by IAC, which also owns major dating sites like Match, OkCupid, and Tinder, so you’re in good hands.

Tinder

OF

Over 190 countries, 1 million dates a week, over 2 billion swipes a day, 30 billion total matches — these are just some things Tinder has been able to accomplish since launching in 2012. And we have to give credit where credit is due because Tinder also started the whole swiping craze that every other dating site and app uses now. Tinder doesn’t come with a big price tag (it’s free to match and message), and that’s something we really love about it.

Bumble

OF

Bumble is a female-led dating app that puts women in the driver’s seat. After a match is made (both people swipe right), only the women can initiate the conversation. If you’re matching with someone of the same gender, either person can initiate. Bumble has more than 22 million users, so you should never really run out of people to talk to. You can also snooze your account whenever you want to take a break. Or you can switch to Bumble BFF, if want to make new friends, or Bumble Bizz for networking opportunities.

Grindr

OF

Grindr is hands down one of the top gay dating apps out there. It was founded by a gay man specifically for gay men, but bisexual, trans, and sexually curious men are welcome to join for free, too. The team doesn’t just focus on facilitating hookups and dates, though. Grindr for Equality is a movement by the company to keep the LGBTQ community informed about the issues affecting them, and you can participate in numerous campaigns to fight against discrimination and harassment.

Hinge

OF
Online

Hinge is the relationship app, or the anti-Tinder, and it was “designed to be deleted.” Meaningful connections are the main goal here, and that starts with the way the matching works. People can only start conversations by liking or commenting on another person’s photos or sections of their profile. Hinge encourages showing personal interest in someone and finding commonality right from the start. It’s not about superficial matches and hookups. It’s about getting to know someone on a deeper level and seeing if he or she is relationship material. Hinge is free, fun, and effective, so we really can’t think of any good reason not to download it.

Happn

OF

Happn is a free dating app that’s on a mission to recreate offline those feelings you get when you lock eyes with someone across the room at a bar, cafe, park, or anywhere else. After you sign up, Happn will show you singles who you’ve crossed paths with in real life. Don’t worry, though, because your actual location is always kept private. Happn makes it easy to see who shares hobbies and lifestyle habits with you.
