Also, here are some important things we looked at for our rankings.

Creating a Profile

This is the most important section on all online dating sites or apps, whether for the hetero or LGBTQ communities.  All dating websites ask for basic personal information, followed by more in-depth questions. Video profiles have become more popular as well as signing up through social media channels, like Facebook and Instagram.

Here’s a partial list of basic information that may be collected:

  • Age
  • Gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Relationship status
  • Religious beliefs or spirituality
  • Education
  • How many children you have (if any)
  • Are you a smoker?

Dating websites include detailed questionnaire sections with mini-essays - like “Describe your ideal weekend getaway.” This sounds corny but you might rule out someone who loves river-rafting and camping while you prefer a luxury spa with crystal chakra massages.  These sections let you to be “you” to attract that special someone. Be funny. Be creative. Above all, just be yourself!

Matching Strategies and Search Options

How do you find a compatible match?  This is algorithmic technical stuff that magically finds you somebody based on your profile. Do you want to search on your own or do you want to be “matched”?  Some sites offer both options but others won’t allow you to browse their users’ profiles.

Don’t forget that your personal preferences may change over time.  You might want to expand your geographical distance from 25 to 100 miles or even change it to another state or country.  I personally think they all should include a filter on animals. Not liking furry four-legged critters could be a non-starter for some.  Bottomline, the more search filters, the better.

Mobile Apps

Of course, this is a no-brainer!  Who can function without their smartphones?   Ping and swipe to meet up with that cutie in the communal work space next door!  And the best lesbian dating websites have desktop versions with a mobile interface.

Pricing

Free sounds good in principle, like the air we breathe.  But paying a monthly fee will give you the whole experience with more bells and whistles. There are 1-month, 3 month and 6-month membership plans, ranging from $11.99 upwards to $22.99/month.  Try the free trial to see if the site works for you.

Privacy and Security

Protecting your personal and financial information is a top concern for any online dating site or app.  Make sure the security logos are clearly displayed and the website spells out their privacy and security policy.  

There’s good news for you shy people who aren’t comfortable with your photo on display for everybody to see. Some sites will only reveal it when you’re matched with a potential date.  And most websites provide detailed safety tips on what to do and what to avoid for dating both online and offline.
