BookofMatches is a free to use singles site. It has a host of features such as real-time web chat, member rating, and personality tests.

Bookofmatches is a free to use singles site for casual dating.


Everything in Book of Matches is free of charge, including emailing, sending flirts, uploading photos and videos and participating in the user forums. There are no premium features or paying accounts meaning everyone gets the same basic membership plan.

Who Can You Meet?

Though BoM represents singles in the United States, it does have members from England, Canada and Australia, as well as other parts of the world. There are around 21,000 active users, with several hundred online at any given time. But compared to OkCupid or PoF.com there's less choice available and potentially further to travel if you meet someone.

Getting Started

You can begin a search without signing up. You will get a brief listing of singles available in the city and state you choose. When you do create your own profile, it is free. The site claims it only takes 30 seconds to make your own profile.

After you have created a profile, your search should return responses that are more accurate. Each user has the ability to add options describing themselves, add a picture and explain what they are looking for in detail in their own words.

Communicating

Once you find a match, communicating with them is supposed to be free via email and messaging. However, there are a lot of ads and banner messages advertising other sites, detracting from the profile you are looking at.

BoM does offer some fun personality tests, but not true compatibility tests. They also alert you to who is online now and what type of relationship the person is seeking. When you sign up, you can also access the chat rooms and participate in discussions that are un-moderated.

In Brief

Book of Matches is a decent free site with a good selection of features and an active user community. They offer a few articles with dating tips, both for men and women. There aren't any specials since they offer free registration and free contacting of members.

The main drawback is that the pool of active users is on the low side compared to other free sites.

    Joined up right after I got back from deployment in Afghanistan, but had no success in meeting someone worth my time. Had a couple of cam girls and scammer hit me up, and one beautiful woman I talked to for a day, and that was it. I figure that maybe I might not be attractive to some of the gals, or because of my ethnicity, but whatever. All I am really looking for is the make some friends to hang out and see where it leads, but BOM seems to be more of a waste of time more than anything.

    I am a member on bom and have been for a couple years. i have done everything that's required such as created profile, uploaded pictures, everything. Send out messages quite often to woman i would be interested in but i am pretty unhappy with the site because the woman on here never reply. I quit using the site for a long time because of this, the woman on bom claim they are there to meet someone, but when you try to contact them they never reply. It is becoming a waste of my time. i need a site where the woman are really looking to meet someone and actually reply to messages.

    Been on this site for 2weeks now, So far only a couple cons trying to lure me. I made one friend talked to her once and that was it. See her online but she never says anything. Was approached by another lady who lives far away that wanted to be my friend but she never invited me. Talked for a day and again nothing much came out of it. Both chats had been friendly. So two weird situations.

    Besides that there is hardly anyone near me that is active which makes me think my time spent on BoM will be short lived.

    Besides that the site offers a lot of good features from chat, forums, games. The site has potential but for whatever reason fails to lure in quality clients.
