This is: eHarmony Black dating

eHarmony was launched in Australia in 2000, as an alternative online dating agency for singles looking for a long-term relationship. In the USA eHarmony.com has developed into the most trusted relationship website, being responsible for nearly 5% of all new U.S. marriages and there are now over 33 million members.

Thus, eHarmony.co.uk acts as a black dating agency as well, matching you with like-minded Black singles based on key dimensions of compatibility, such as humour, intelligence, passion.

There's a quite long and detailed questionnaire to fill out in order for the system to work well, but the benefits can be tremendous!

You don’t have to limit your search to Australian Black singles. But if local is important to you, you can adjust your location settings to suit you.

Another important aspect about eHarmony, is that you can’t search profiles. They’ll rather send you compatible matches (as they say, "eHarmony: a relationship site, not a dating site").

If you think that it is hard to find a good online dating site for black people which really caters to the needs of the community, then you have not tried BlackPeopleMeet.com. Launched in 2002, BlackPeopleMeet.com is part of the PeopleMedia.com family (which in turn is owned by Match.com) and has over 1000 new members each day. BlackPeopleMeet is one of the top online dating sites for African-Americans and black people.

Its services, which require you to upgrade to be able to use them, are similar to many other websites. An upgraded membership allows you to: read and reply to messages, see which members who have flirted with you, see which members have added you to their favorites lists, view other member’s videos, chat with members online and find out if you are an astrological match. With BlackPeopleMeet, you can also browse through profiles of new members in your area. Additionally, you can view an Astrology Compatibility Report for any potential partner, so you know what the stars are saying about your match. Another nice feature is the BlackPeopleMeet online magazine which contains articles, dating tips and much more.

And if you are still unsure about signing up, just rest assured that BlackPeopleMeet.com is backed by the Better Business Bureau so you know that this site is legitimate and not a scam.

User-friendly design, with multi-lingual interface and translation tools that break-down barriers enabling you to find Black women or Black men, whether just around the corner or at the opposite end of the earth.

This is: BlackDatingGroup.com

BlackDatingGroup.co.uk belongs to The Dating Group, a large network of niche dating sites (which boast tens of thousands of members) in Australia, in this case, with lots of Black singles in their data base. You can either search yourself for suitable Black women/men (in a personals ad site fashion) or look at the matches you get suggested after filling the site's questionnaire with your characteristics and preferences (in a dating agency fashion).

If you are not a paying member, you'll get messages constantly in a pop-up window with their membership offers, which can sometimes be a bit annoying.

The full membership allows you to use the following features: full search, send emails, video chat, send winks & kisses and more!
