CompatiblePartners

CompatiblePartners sets itself apart from many of the other gay/lesbian dating sites out there. If you're looking for something more serious, this site is designed with you in mind. It's for anyone looking for more of a long term relationship rather than a casual fling.

It does this with an eHarmony-like compatibility test. CompatiblePartners aims to bring people together with their true match - but unlike eHarmony it scans for same-sex relationships too.

eHarmony Matching for Same Sex Couples

Their matching system looks for couples who would share deeper values as opposed to just similar likes and hobbies.

Rather than filling out a simple questionnaire, you'll actually take more of a personality test when you sign up. You'll get a pretty detailed report about yourself as well as being matched with potential partners.

Since the site is dedicated to gays and lesbians looking for long term relationships, most people who are interested in casual dating don't sign up here. If that's what you're after I'd suggest OutPersonals.com.

Communicating

Once you've found matches, you don't communicate with them freely right away. Rather, the system only allows you to ask each other questions back and forth at first. It's all about maintaining privacy and ensuring a good match before you meet. One of these communications includes sending each other a list of "must haves" and "can't stands" regarding what you're looking for in a partner.
