Summary:
My UK Date is one of the rare totally free AND all-access online dating destinations available to the public. In addition to all of the features which have become the norm in the online dating world such as video chat, smileys, advanced searches and personality tests; MyUKDate.com further sets itself apart from the pack with a multitude of unusually nuanced answers for the multiple choice questions which comprise your profile. The only catch – you’ve got to be located in the UK.
Pros:
- Totally free – no joke!
- Not only free, a comprehensive online dating experience as well
- Unusually nuanced multiple choice responses
- Nice events section
Cons:
- Does not excel in picking mates for you
- Only for the UK
Costs:
Free. Entirely 100% free.
Account Setup:
It’s as simple a process as exists in online dating in getting your profile up – give yourself a screen name, name your post code or UK city of residence, give an email address, wait about 30 seconds for your confirmation password to arrive in said email, then away you go. Of course, if you want to fill out the nooks and crannies of your profile, then you are looking at a few hours’ process. About 75 stock questions in addition to a few places for essays and 10 photo slots comprise your entire profile
Photos:
Members are allowed 10 non-explicit photos of themselves which generally upload in about 20 minutes. One photo shows up as your main profile picture so make sure it’s a good one.
Search:
Unlike bigger pay sites like eHarmony.com or Chemistry.com, the search feature is really not the best part of My UK Date. Really the best feature in finding other members is the relatively small member base (as the site is only for UK daters.)
Special Features:
First of all, totally free should be considered a special feature. In addition to being totally free, My UK Date offers Audio/Visual chat, on-site emails, flirts/gifts and its most unique special feature: it has an Events section which keeps its members abreast of dating events and events which would be ideal for dates in the UK.
Communication:
24/7 live A/V chat and on-site emails. There is no forum or site-chaperoned phone calls.
Support:
A relatively strong FAQs section is buoyed by 2 different support email addresses and a toll free hotline for the lucky members of My UK Date.
In their words:
My UK Date is the largest FREE dating site in the UK. And when we say FREE we really mean FREE because no credit cards are required, no fees and payments and not a single penny comes out of your wallet. It’s all about having fun and affording everyone in the UK an opportunity to date online.
Our reviewer’s opinion:
Talk about a great online dating destination – My UK Date is it! Rife with all of the features you’ve come to expect (and pay for) at other sites like live chat and flirts, My UK Date further separates itself from the pack with its tremendously informative Events section. There, they will help you make the jump from virtual dating to live dating with dozens of happenings in your area of the United Kingdom. The only potential downer for international daters is that My UK Date is geared for UK daters only. While there are a few non-UK people listed, the very vast majority abide by the UK only rule. Fantastic free site for UK daters.
