This is: Match.com international

Over 60 million people have joined this platform in their search for a partner since 2005, making it the UK's biggest dating site (especially since UK Match.com is part of Meetic who powers the dating services for a number of leading UK brands including MSN and Yahoo!)

Easy to use and with a state-of-the-art Match.com iPhone app to enable you to check your potential partners everywhere. They are certainly the best-known dating site in the world, so it is natural that Match.com should be a stop for anyone who is on the lookout for a partner.

This is: Zoosk.com international

Zoosk is the new, high-flying dating site straight from the Silicon Valley. Today, it can claim around 30 million active users – that’s quite impressive!

But we’re not going to talk about that here. What we're going to say is that most of the users are on the hunt for an erotic adventure.

In comparison to other personals sites, quite a lot of spontaneous contact occurs between members. What really impressed us during our test was how direct the ladies were, under that baby-blue surface.

One of the most readily-used features is the Flirt Carousel, where you can see photos and either click 'yes' or 'no'.

The membership test works fantastically, so there are hardly any fakes either.

So, dear adventurers: trying it out is certainly a must!

This is: InterracialMatch.com

The focus of InterracialMatch.com is very much on interracial relationships… though this does fit very neatly into the category of international dating. With around 1,000,000 members (not all of them in the UK, either…), there is a diverse range here. What you can also look forward to is the number of “Unique Features” that are on offers…

Of course, 16 years of online dating experience is what the operators of Interracial Match claim to have. So there is a bit of experience in bringing people together behind the platform – whether for love and romance or something in between.

This is: EligibleGreeks.com

At Eligible Greeks, many singles are literally looking for eligible bachelors and bachelorettes who’re interested in finding someone for a serious relationship, or possibly even marriage. This international dating site has a Greek flair and claims to be one of the biggest Greek dating sites with 8,000 singles in the UK.

Chat features are pretty basic, but there is a chat room where you can talk and get to know multiple people at once. There is unfortunately no mobile app, although you are able to use the site on most devices such as laptops, PCs, smartphones and tablets.

This is: ArabLounge.com

The online dating platform Arab Lounge may seem like a rather niche site, but it is incredibly international. Around 11,000 singles are in the UK alone and there are many more worldwide, as it belongs to the World Singles community.

This isn’t strictly a Muslim dating site: it’s more of a meeting place for those of Arabic ethnicity, or those interested in the culture, to come together for possible friendship or dating.
