Perfect Match is one of the few dating websites that offers thorough compatibility testing for its members. With their exclusive “Duet” testing, they claim to give more accurate matches to their members, garnering them a high success rate. As well as the guided matching system, you are also able to search the database yourself and initiate communication with other members – other matchmaking sites such as eHarmony do not offer this freedom. If you are searching for a serious relationship, this is one website to consider.

The “Duet” Total Compatibility System, which was created by leading relationship expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz, is a fun and practical personality test. It only takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and is well worth the time. Creating an accurate profile of yourself and recognizing your personality type is an important step in the matchmaking process. After completing the test, clicking the results link will show you a detailed view of your personality characteristics on several different levels, including core values, love style and outlook. It’s even possible to send feedback on your test to PerfectMatch to tell them if you think your results are accurate or not. You can re-do the test at any time if appropriate.

Once you complete the Duet test, simply click on the “Perfect Matches” link and you’ll be shown people who match your personality type. By clicking on any of the member links, you can view their profile and their personality traits. Checking the “compare us” tab is fun and gives and instant side-by-side comparison of their profile with your own. You can refine your perfect matches even further by entering deal breakers. For instance, you can state that your matches should be within certain locations, you can also set age limits, and if you wish you can exclude people with certain personality traits. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to restrict on physical qualities, such as height or appearance.

If you prefer, you can bypass the guided matching system altogether and browse profiles yourself. To browse profiles or to openly communicate with other members, you will need to join as a premium member. Subscribing members will receive matches by email, the ability to communicate anonymously with others, have access to articles to read on the site as well as many other perks.

While this fee is a little more expensive than other sites, they guarantee the matches you receive will be quality members who are similar to you. Their resident relationship expert, Dr. Pepper Schwartz , is there to give support and advice to all of its members.

PerfectMatch.com is one of the most well known matchmaking web sites around, appearing in numerous T.V. shows as well as being featured in several movies such as “Must Love Dogs (2005)”, “The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)”, and “Perfect Romance (2004)”. It’s not surprising that people who are serious about finding their “perfect match” are flocking to this site, making it one of the most popular.

There’s a new player in the arena of matchmaking and connecting singles using Facebook. Littlehint is a startup company that claims to have a new and better way of collecting your Facebook friends, sorting them according to which ones might be best matched for dating, and then making it easy for those folks to connect with each other.

If it sounds a bit like Thread.com you’re right because the basic idea is the same. What’s different, though, is the Littlehint is setting itself up with more detailed questions to answer as part of your profile and is also working feverishly to allow users to submit their DNA profiles as well. DNA matching for singles is the hottest, newest, and most unproven method of matchmaking in the business right now so it’s not clear if this is really a selling point for Littlehint or not.

The way Littlehint describes its process is that they ask a series of questions to determine your sociological characteristics, assess your personality and psychological tendencies, and then use a function called “degrees of separation” to connect you with friends via your Facebook page. The catch? Your friends need to fill out a Littlehint profile, too, for the whole thing to work.

Is this the wave of the dating future? Who knows. But one thing is for certain, we’re going to be seeing more of these types of online dating tools so you need to stay as up to date as possible if you want to make the most of online dating opportunities.
