DateMatch offers you two options when availing a premium membership. You can either go for the 1-month or 3-month subscription, depending on your choice. A recurring bill is automatically set up once you start availing any of the two types of membership. Relatively, the amount and frequency of such a recurring bill depend on which package you purchased.

What's interesting about the full membership plan is what the site calls a "3-month guarantee." If for some reason you can't find a date within three months upon availing the 3-month subscription, DateMatch will give you an extra 3-months to enjoy the benefits of being a premium member for free!

You need to remember, however, that to be eligible for the 3-month guarantee, you need to pass certain standards. These include the number of messages you've sent, how often you log in to the site, and generally how active you are in interacting with other members (while you were on the 3-month subscription).

This 3-month guarantee sounds like a reassurance to the platform's members. It actually gives you the chance to determine first if the site will work for you or not. Although you are mandated to avail of the 3-month premium membership before being able to enjoy the guarantee, it is somehow logical as you don't normally find 'the one' in a short period of time. It's a one in a million chance if you think about it.

Additionally, the site offers an individual feature that can be purchased separately. This is called the "featured member," which has been discussed above.

Who is signed up on DateMatch in the UK?

Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on DateMatch from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.

Date Match seems to welcome just about anyone as long as they have no harmful motive. Whether you're looking for a serious relationship or just want to have fun, you are allowed to join. You can explicitly say that you're only there to fish for hookups, and no one will judge you. The only applicants whom the site rejects are scammers and frauds.

Based on our research, there are more male members than female ones. From this data, we also found out that most of them come from the 25 to 34 age range. This isn't surprising, as the site seems to promote it to that specific group.

Obviously, the site doesn't have many members. Yet it promises a one-of-a-kind dating experience despite its small member base.

The DateMatch app

★★★★★ 3.0/5

  • No mobile application; only has a mobile version
  • Design of mobile version is simple and a bit old-fashioned
  • All of the full website's features are not available on mobile
  • You need to have a Java Plug-in to use some of the features

One of the downsides of the site is its lack of a mobile application. You can only access it via your mobile device's browser. Thereafter, you are automatically redirected to a mobile-friendly version of it. To log in, just enter your username and password in the field provided.

Not all of the full site's features are available on the mobile version. There are only a few that you can use, including the messaging function. You might not be able to access these limited mobile features if your phone doesn't have a Java plug-in.

To verify that your mobile phone supports Java or that you can activate Java, go to your Settings option and check. If your mobile does not support Java, you will need to speak to your mobile service provider.

Our field test

★★★★★ 3.0/5

"Can't really tell if I'm enjoying the site or not. I feel like it can do more. I find it a bit boring because there's not much going on. The female users I have encountered so far aren't that responsive. Can't even access the live chat sometimes. I've purchased the 3-month subscription and it's currently in its second month. I'm kind of looking forward to the 3-month guarantee as I have made no contact yet with anyone. Yeah. Sucks, right? I just wish this guarantee is legit. It's actually the reason why I availed of the 3-month membership in the first place. Will continue trying my luck. Let's see how things work in the next few months." - Landon, 25

Design & usability

DateMatch's full website is not that fancy. It has a black background with red and white fonts. You would agree if we say that it's a little bit plain and old-fashioned. The site could use a little help in enhancing the way it would appeal to daters looking for a great site.

However, its design doesn't speak for its functionality. Although a bit boring to look at, the platform provides a friendly and uncomplicated user interface. The tabs located at the upper portion of each page make it easy for any user to understand how to navigate the site. These tabs include:

  • Who's Online
  • Find Members
  • Buddies
  • Live Chat
  • Adult Games

If you go to the homepage, you will also see your dashboard which consists of your mailbox, who's online/newest members, and a list of users who reside within your vicinity.

Special features

Aside from the usual services, Date Match offers other special features that may spice up your dating game.

Finding people 2

Search Type

When searching for other users, you can modify your search by city, username, hottest members, or newest members.

WinksFree

Send winks to members you are interested in.

Messaging and contact 1

Profile and visibility 1

Be featured

Be a featured member and let other members see that you have upgraded to premium and purchased the additional function.

Safety and privacy 1

Buddies

This feature lets you view who your current buddies are and any pending buddy requests. It also allows you to either approve your buddy requests or block them entirely. It functions like Facebook's friend requests.

Other extras 1

Adult Games

This is another paid special feature that lets you do something different apart from dating. If you're getting bored trying to wait for a member's reply, you can maybe kill time by playing these adult games.

“In DateMatch, it might take some money and time before you can really enjoy communicating with others. However, it seems to be worth it once you've caught your fish. We suggest trying this dating website and see for yourself what it has to offer.”

DateMatch FAQ

What is DateMatch?

DateMatch is an online dating community that aims to function as a social networking site. The platform advertises traditional online dating, but there are instances when you can find casual dates too.

Yes, it is a legit dating site with actual members.

Are there fake profiles in DateMatch?

As with any other dating site, we can't fully ascertain the inexistence of fake profiles in this platform. For safety purposes, we suggest being extra careful when interacting with other members.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

How do I sign in my DateMatch account?

To log in your account, just click the "Member Login" found at the topmost part of the homepage. Enter your username and password, then click "log in." Your username and password are emailed to upon completion of the registration process.

How do I confirm my email address?

After registration, a banner will appear at the top of your screen, stating that you must confirm your email address by clicking the link in the message that was sent to you. Just click the "Check E-mail now" link and your mail service provider will open in a separate browser. Click on the link in your inbox and your email address will be confirmed.

If you haven't received the email from DateMatch, you can try resending it by clicking the "Resend E-mail" button. You can also try checking your Spam folder to see if it was classified under that category. If you can't find a new email even after resending or checking your Spam folder, you can ask for customer assistance by clicking the "Get Live Help" button.

There may be times when none of these won't work. This is probably because your email provider has some filters that prevent the delivery of site emails. As this is already out of the platform's control, the last option they can offer is to have your email address changed. You can do this by clicking on the "Change Email Address" option and entering a new address.

How do I select my DateMatch profile photo?
