Dating for Professionals is becoming more and more popular as many people place a huge value on dating someone that has a similar educational background or a similar status in their professional career.

There are a few different sites that cater for dating for professionals. It is best to learn a little bit more about these first before you dive in.

1. Online Dating for Professionals

There are a lot of online dating websites that describe themselves as dating agencies for professionals. But, as soon as you take away the personal interview from the process, you may actually find that there is not really any difference between this type of site any other type of online dating site!

Some people will define a “professional” as anyone who is working (compared with students and unemployed people). Others have a much more tight definition that would probably not, for example, include somebody who delivers papers or works at a checkout. So you need to do a little research into these professional dating sites and find out exactly what they mean when they call themselves as dating agencies for professionals.

It is also worth finding out if these dating sites verify anything. For example, if a member describes himself as a business owner, do they check what their business is? (or if they actually have a business at all)? If not, then I would imagine that anybody could join, and that is probably not what you want if you are specifically looking for dating agencies for professionals.

Another easier, and perhaps cheaper option is to just register with one of the most popular UK Dating Sites. These sites allow you to either search for people who have specific education or professional backgrounds or they involve filling in a personality questionnaire that includes questions about your own education and profession and allow you to specify exactly what you are looking for.

2. In Person Matchmaking Services for Professionals

Yes, they do actually still exist! These are the traditional one on one matchmaking services that interview you and then give you introductions to people that they think you would be compatible with. Nowadays all the matching is typically done by computer, but they will still hold an interview to discuss your requirements and to vet all applicants.

The face to face element of these dating for professionals services clearly involve a lot  more expense in terms of time and money. This mean that these types of services are typically at the top end of the market in terms of cost, and should be regarded as an elite service.

However, there is one advantage to this expense. That is, that other members are likely to be wealthy or at least financially comfortable. People on lower incomes will be weeded out by the pricing. So you are more likely to meet your financial peers. You can also be pretty sure that if somebody is spending this much for the service, they are definitely on the lookout for a more serious relationship.

This type of service is usually only available in big cities where there are enough clients to make it a viable business from the company’s point of view. This is very important for you as well, because you need to know that there are a lot of other members for you to date.

Are you considering taking the Eharmony Free Trial? This trial allows you to register with Eharmony at no cost, complete their questionnaire and view your matches. You don’t need to give any payment details to do this, but you won’t be able to contact anyone.

The main benefit of this is that you get to take a good look at the profiles of your potential dates and decide whether there are enough choices for you to justify paying a monthy fee with them.

Here’s what happened when I took the Eharmony free trial for myself!

The first part was pretty easy and took less then a minute. This involved entering my name, whether I was looking for a woman or a man, my postcode and my email address.

After this I was taken to the eHarmony questionnaire. This took me a total of 20 minutes to complete and asked questions about my appearance, religion, health, ethnicity, personality, like and dislikes, values, hobbies and more. You could easily spend longer doing this questionnaire, but it is actually better to be spontaneous, because the more you think about it, the less accurate your answers will probably be!

At the end I also had to state my habits for smoking & drinking and what I would be willing to accept in a partner. Here is an example of part of the questionnaire:

After all these probing questions I was able to select how far away i was willing to travel to date people and whether or not I would be willing to relocate.

Once I’d finished with the EHarmony questionnaire the site recommend that I upload a photo and add additional information to my profile. You don’t have to do this, but you’ll probably get a lot more interest from people if you have photos and a complete profile. If you are not really sure at this stage, just leave this out and you can always add it in later.

After all of this I was shown my potantial matches and could browse through their profiles to learn more about them. Unfortunately I was unable to view any photos as this is something that is only available to paying members, but I had a pretty good idea from looking at the profiles of whether I’d be interested in dating one of these people. Don’t be disheartened if you only have a few matches. I was only shown 12 matches initially, but received over 200 more over the next few weeks.

I was also pretty interested to read my personality report. This report is available as part of the E harmony free trial and is based on the questions you answered. It contains information about your agreeableness, openness, emotional stability, extraversion and conscientiousness. I was fairly surprised at how well this report described me!

Overall, if you are serious about finding that perfect match, it is worth taking half an hour of your time to take the Eharmony Free Trial and see what the system offers you. There is no obligation and you don’t have to spend any money unless you want to upgrade to a paid membership (which you can do at any time you like).

Our Parship UK Review Parship is a popular UK dating website along the same lines as sites like Match Affinity and EHarmony. In a similar way to these sites you need to complete a personality questionnaire in order to see your matches. After completing your questionnaire and a short profile you’ll get instant access to your personal matches along with a “compatibility score” for each of your potential partners.

You can register with Parship for free, complete the personality questionnaire and you’ll instantly see a list of your matches. The questionnaire took me around 25 minutes to complete and included a wide range of questions ranging from my interests and hobbies, to whether I was a morning person or an evening person. I also had to make spontaneous choices between sets of two images and read various scenarios and state what I would do in that situation.I have to admit, some of the questions were slightly bizarre, especially being shown black and white pictures and being asked to choose my preferred name for that particular “dream scene”

After that I had to complete a short questionnaire and then complete a profile, then I had instant access to my matches. I was initially shown 369 matches, but this became 7 matches when I selected my local area rather than the whole of the UK – a little disappointing!

If you are thinking of signing up with Parship, read my quick Parship Review below to find out whether or not it is right for you.

Parship Facts and Features at a Glance

NUMBER OF MEMBERS: 10 Million members in Europe (not sure how many in Parship UK)

MEMBERSHIP COST: Free registration is available with limited features. Premium membership is £39.90 per month for 1 month, £29.90 per month for 3 months or £19.90 per month for 6 months.

FREE FEATURES: A list of your matches based on your personality questionnaire is provided to you as a free member and you can also use most of the search facilities and view profiles. You’ll need to upgrade to a premium Parship member if you want to see photos of other members. You can also contact other members and your first message to another member is free.

PROFILE FEATURES: The profile is pretty basic as most of the matching is done through your completed questionnaire.  The profile includes your photos (up to 9), basic info such as location, age, body type, education, a description of yourself, sport and leisure info and answers to various questions such as “a perfect day for me is…”. A lot of this is pre-filled from the questionnaire so it shouldn’t take too long to complete and when you look at someone elses profile in Parship you’ll see a compatibility score and a summary of how compatible you are in different areas. If you are not keen on showing your photo you can make it have a blurred appearance and then only show it to people who request to see it.

Here’s a screenshot of the compatibility chart for one of my matches.

SEARCH FEATURES: You can search based on age, height, region, children, smokes/doesn’t smoke and interests. Upgraded (premium) members can also search on income and education.

FUN FEATURES: You have the ability to “smile” at someone or send them an “ice breaker”. A “smile” is similar to a “poke” on Facebook and an “ice breaker” is a little multiple choice questionnaire, which is quite a fun way to contact someone.

GAY DATING – if you are a guy looking for another guy, or a lady looking for another lady, then you can register with Parship in the normal way and just specify this on the initial signup page.

Verdict of Parship:

3 and a half out of 5 Heart Rating

Parship has a nice, easy to use site and the personality test isn’t overly complex. I liked the ability to see a summary of how compatible you were with each potential partner + the details of which areas you are most compatible. Unfortunately for methere were only 7 compatible matches listed in my home town so for this reason I am rating it 3.5 stars out of 5. This may be different for different areas of the UK or different types of personality, so it is still worth registering with Parship for free and taking a look at your matches. You can then decide whether or not you want to be a premium member based on the number of matches that are returned.

If you find like me that there are not many matches in your area, I’d recommend taking a look at Match Affinity or EHarmony UK instead.
