Doulike has to be one of the best free dating sites if you want something serious. Filling out their questionnaire and profile makes matching way more accurate. You'll be sure to find people you genuinely jive with.

Plenty of Fish (POF) has been around forever, and they still deliver a quality experience with zero subscription fees. With such a large user base, odds are in your favor for finding a compatible match.

The ladies should check out Bumble if you want to control the conversation. Girls have to message guys first, so you get to decide who is worth your time. Plus they've got settings to find friends and professional connections too.
