User Comments |
- After my divorce, I used a number of dating websites. Match.com was by far my favorite. It had more people than the other sites, and the features were better. I also preferred being able to search for my matches based on my own criteria rather than having the site assign matches to me. I also was lucky enough to meet the man I married on Match.com. Priceless! Dawn
- ...Thank you... for letting two soul mates connect in a new way. We would have never met if it weren't for Match.com... Alyson
- ...Things have been going so well for us, and it’s almost like something you dream of but think will never actually happen to you... Jodi
