Best Sites For Gay Dating

Tired of casual encounters? Looking for more of a romantic connection? Want to spend your time making iPod playlists for your boyfriend instead of shuffling through random boys in the game of musical dating? Not all online dating sites are hookup havens. There are sites out there with a focus on helping you find a deeper connection. Here are a few recommended online sites for gay dating:

Best Site To Find Love

Lovetastic.com
"We believe in love," says Lovetastic.com. "Gay men deserve love." These concepts are at the core of Lovetastic's philosophy. The site was founded by Ryan Norbauer, who met his husband on the site, and business mate David Kooy.

• What we like: Each profile on Lovetastic is unique because different questions are randomly generated for each person. Don't like the question? You can have the site randomly generate another one for you. There are also no penis size or body type checkboxes, so members are forced to write about who they really are, not just what they look like in the mirror. Oh, and it's all free. (read full review)

Best Site For Perfect Compatibility

MyPartner.com
There is no perfect person, but MyPartner has many paths to help you find the most compatible mate. Think eHarmony plus Match for gays, but so much better. MyPartner was founded by relationship expert Patrick H. Perrine, who's still the lead matchmaker.

This is great for guys that are either new to the scene or ones eager for more success. MyPartner also has a member forum, with advice from relationship experts.

Best Site for Secure Dating

Gkiss.com
Hey, we've all experienced that one person that wasn't who he said he was initially. You can save yourself the embarrassing Gkiss do it for you. Gkiss.com screens and verifies it's members to create a more secure environment for online romance. Locking in the date is all up to you, though.

• What we like: Profiles are individually screened for quality. Gkiss even screens usernames to make sure they are not inappropriate. Members can also get their occupation, photo and age verified for free. This features is a little restricting and may scare many guys away, but it is a great way to make sure the guy you're talking to is the person he says he is. Free members can't initiate conversations, but they can respond if someone else initiates them. Upgraded members get full access at a start price of $29.95.
