This dating service is one of the few that offer a guarantee. The guarantee is called Make Love Happen and offers members an additional 6 months of free
service if they do not find love. This guarantee is available for only 6 month membership packages. To qualify all you have to do is create a viewable profile with a picture and initiate communication
with at least 5 other members each month. See Match.com UK
for full details.
The great thing with Match.com is they are always changing and expanding their dating service to make things easier for their members.
One example is the new Testimonials feature introduced in late 2007. You can ask Match.com UK members or anyone else who is online to give you a testimonial.
These testimonials help give other Match.com members a fuller picture of who you are. They also give you as a member verification of what you say in your profile is true.
Another great service in which Match.com has integrated into their dating service is matchMobile. Now it's even easier to check for mail and search for
matches anywhere you want with your cell phone. Plus, you get instant phone alerts when you receive new mail or a communication request.
