Top 5 Most Popular Dating Sites List

Following is our list of 5 most popular dating sites. All links open in a new window.

1. NoStringsAttached.com: This would easily qualify as the most popular in that it has the perhaps largest database of singles (and growing). In fact, you have to be very specific when searching singles on Match.com as you could find yourself browsing endless profiles. Match.com has been at the forefront of innovation as far as dating service features go, and is the site other dating sites like to copy. This should be one of your first stops if not your first. Free 7 days trial.
