BlackSingles.com overview:
Black Singles is a fantastic site, with a proven reputation for bringing black singles together. Black Singles, ran by the Spark Networks (one of the largest and most popular networks of dating sites in the world), is one of the most popular dating sites online for black daters. With more than 1,000 new members joining every day Black Singles offers users the opportunity to hook up with loads of great new users every month. Users can search through and contact a fantastic range of black singles from all over the world, making Black Singles one of the finest reputations for black dating. Subscription membership to Black Singles starts at just $4.99 a month, though all users can get access to many of the features offered on Black Singles completely free of charge by signing up for free trial membership. We were extremely impressed by the features on offer at Black Singles, and at under $5 a month.

It was really easy to join Black Singles, we just filled in a quick registration form, entered a valid email address and spent some time check out the features that are on offer on the site. Black Singles offers users the opportunity to host large user profiles, complete with numerous informative sections. Users can either complete their entire profile on registration, or return later to complete sections that you would like to fill in later. All users can add an unlimited number of photos to their profile, and organize them into galleries, to advertise to other users what you have on offer! One of the best features of Black Singles is the privacy settings that each user can apply to the photo galleries stored on their profiles. Users can set individual privacy settings for each album in the gallery, so that only some photos are viewable publically, and others are available for private viewing only!

There are no limits to how many free sites you can join, except for the practical ones you impose on yourself, like how much time are you going to devote to searching, communicating and following up on leads that will come into your computer's e-mail inbox. We recommend signing up for free trials with at least two dating sites, in order to see how they compare.

The UK's first single parent dating agency, KNO has been providing dating services for family-minded singles and single parents for over 25 years!

knodating.com (Kids No Object Dating) overview:
Kids No Object is a UK-based dating site for single parents and those looking to meet them for friendship, companionship and relationships. Kids No Object offers its users the opportunity to create a profile and take advantage of a range of features in order to find the perfect match. While we were impressed with many of the features offered at Kids No Object, we were a little disappointed by some elements, particularly the overall popularity of the site, which seems lacking when compared to other sites in this category. Although this site is definitely worth checking out, it is going to take a little while before it starts to creep up the rankings to our top ten in this category!

Creating a profile with Kids No Object is extremely straightforward, giving users the opportunity to add as many photos and as much information as they like in order to create a personalized profile that really appeals to other users. Although members can search through the other profiles on the site in order to find the perfect match, they can also have automatic-matches sent straight to their email account each day, making the process of finding “the one” even more straightforward. Another great feature of Kids No Object is that members can opt to sign up to the free “buddies” scheme (“for mates, not dates”), that gives them the opportunity to meet new people and forge lasting friendships with other single parents, either male or female. This is a great feature that helps to create a great community atmosphere on the site – perfect if you’re newly single or have recently moved to a new area.

knodating.com (Kids No Object Dating) Features:

• Kids No Object is a UK dating site for singe parents and those looking to meet them.
• Find the perfect match with another single parent online.
• Search by location, age or appearance to find the perfect partner in your local area.
• Have compatibility matches sent straight to your email each day.
• Create your own Kids No Object profile, complete with photos and as much information as you like.
• Use the quick "mini-messaging" service to get in touch with other members.
• Use the personal messaging service (with easy-reply function) to get to know other members.
• Contact members by phone using CallSafe or VoiceMail - never give out your phone details until you're ready!
• Sign up to the free 'Buddies' scheme if you're looking for mates, not dates.
• Chat to other members online using the Chatterbox Instant Messaging Service.
• Read dating tips and advice to improve your dating technique.
• Completely safe and secure online dating.
• Choose from a range of payment methods and subscription options, including lifetime membership.
• Read testimonials and success stories from other members.
• Extensive FAQs and customer support.

Although Kids No Object does provide users with a number of good features, many of which are unique within this category, we’re not sure the site as a whole is popular enough to warrant our readers paying for even the cheapest of the subscriptions to this site. Although our readers should definitely feel free to check out the site and what is has to offer, we would suggest they also sign up to trial membership packages available at other sites in this category (particularly those that rank highly in the top ten) to find a service that offers the right combination of features, value for money and number of members!

To discover which dating site is best for you, try reading some more reviews and then join a few dating sites to see for yourself how they suit you. There are no limits to how many free sites you can join, except for the practical ones you impose on yourself, like how much time are you going to devote to searching, communicating and following up on leads that will come into your computer's e-mail inbox.

SingleMums.org
get back in the game!

SingleMums.org overview:
Single Mums is a web community devoted to helping single mums get back in the dating game. Single Mums operates both UK and US sites, giving single parents on both sides of the pond an opportunity to find their perfect match. One of the best elements of Single Mums is that the site is not exclusively a dating community, but also a supportive community for single mothers – offering advice, help, tips and a social outlet all rolled into one! That said, and although the site is definitely not that expensive when compared to many other sites in the category, the fact that the community doesn’t seem as popular as many of the other sites we have reviewed as part of this category does put us off somewhat…

New members of Single Mums can create a profile as soon as they join the site and begin using the site’s features almost immediately. Users can add as many photos and as much information to their profile as they wish, in order to create a profile that reflects their personality and properly describes the sort of person they are trying to meet. New members can send an ‘ice-breaker’ message to all members in their area on joining the site, so as to help them find friends and potential dates in their local area. Finally, members can take advantage of a range of communicative tools, such as instant messaging, email and text alerts in order to get in touch with other members and take new relationships further.

SingleMums.org Features:

• Single parent dating from Single Mums - a website dedicated to getting you back in the game!
• Thousands of members make this a great place for you to find the perfect match.
• Choose from either UK or US partner sites to help you find 'the one'.
• Add a great profile to the site, complete with as many photos and as much information as you like.
• Single Mums is free to join and you can be looking through profiles in a matter of minutes.
• Send a free ice-breaker message to users in your local area.
• Have real time conversations with other members using the Instant Messaging function.
• Use the inbox and messaging tools to send private mail to other members.
• Keep your own dating diary and publish it for other members to read.
• Receive Astrology Matching advice based on your star sign.
• Manage your interaction with other users with a number of lists including a friends list and favorites list.
• Receive mobile alerts when you receive a new message or another user 'likes' your profile.
• Read advice and dating tips for members - improve your dating technique!
• Read success stories and member testimonials.
• Choose from a range of upgrade options and payment methods.
• Extensive user FAQs and customer support.

All in all, Single Mums is a bit of a mixed bag – although the ‘community’ element of the site is refreshing and will no doubt appeal to many of our readers, the ‘dating’ side of the service is let down by the fact that the service as a whole isn’t as popular as it could be. As dating online is often viewed as a numbers game, we aren’t sure that this site has yet grown to such a size that its members have enough choice when it comes to checking out profiles of other members in their local area. While we would still recommend giving this site a go (if only to take advantage of some of the ‘community’ features on offer), we would suggest that our readers sign up to the free trial membership option (and give it a lengthy trial) before opting in to a subscription of any significant length. If Single Mums  doesn’t turn out to be your thing, be sure to check out other sites in this category to find something that suits your needs perfectly!

Single Parents can find love too!

MumsDateDads.co.uk overview:
Mums Date Dads is an online dating community for single parents looking to meet each other for friendship, companionship and love. The site was created by single parents for single parents, taking into account the experiences of many single parents when dating (both online and offline) in order to produce a site where members feel comfortable, can get to know each other and can get back into the dating game again! Mums Date Dads is based on the same site structure as Parents Dating, meaning it shares many of the same features, and although the site has been successful in recruiting members and has been featured in a number of media publications (such as Soul & Spirit, Baby World, Best Magazine and the Daily Express), it unfortunately shares many of the same faults as its sister site.

Mums Date Dads can create their own free profile as soon as they join the site, adding as many images and as much information as they like in order to make the profile an accurate reflection of their personality and what sort of person they are looking for. One of our favorite features was the mobile upload feature, allowing users to upload new images of themselves to their profile directly from their mobile phones. As with its sister site, Parents Dating, Mums Date Dads has an excellent video profile feature, allowing users to upload a video introduction to their profile in order to really show off their personality and interests. Finally, in order to ensure the safety and privacy of members, all Mums Date Dads profiles are verified for authenticity – there’s no ‘fake profiles’ to be found here!

MumsDateDads.co.uk Features:

• Mums Date Dads - a great online dating site for single parents.
• Created by single parents for single parents - start looking for someone special today.
• Mums Date Dads is one of the most successful single parent dating sites, featured in Soul & Spirit Magazine, Baby World, Best Magazine and The Daily Express.
• The site is free to join - create a profile and start searching through others today.
• With literally hundreds of thousands of profiles online, you're sure to find someone perfect at Mums Date Dads.
• Send a free ice-breaker message to all users in your area.
• Upload photos to your profile using your mobile phone - easy!
• Create and view video profiles with the site - an even better way to let people know what you're like and what sort of person you're looking for!
• Use the Instant Messaging function to chat in real-time to other users.
• Use Video Chat to really get to know other members.
• Receive text message notifications when new members join in your area or you receive a new message.
• Mums Date Dads also operates a South African partner site for single parents in South Africa.
• All profiles are verified and checked for authenticity.
• Choose from a number of upgrade options and payment methods.
• 24/7 customer support by phone and email.

Although, as with Parents Dating, we were generally pleased with many of the features on offer at this site, we did find the £7.50 a month subscription charge to be a little steep, especially when compared to other sites in this category. With many of this category’s most successful sites offering services at comparable prices (and many even cheaper), we do think that our readers should consider other services on offer before committing to a subscription to Mums Date Dads. If you would still like to give this site a go, by all means check out the site’s features (and see how many members are online in your area) by signing up for free trial membership. Otherwise, be sure to check out what’s on offer elsewhere in order to get the best deal!
