Matchmaker.com, one of the pioneers in online dating, was founded as a phone dating service in 1986. The site is for heterosexual, gays, and lesbian professionals looking for marriage or long-term relationships. Matchmaker.com advertises that it has more than 2 million members, with 50,000 new members a week.

Signing up for the site is free and allows you to create a profile, post a photo, perform searches of members, send flirts, and access to the online magazine. But if you want to rank higher in the member searches and communicate with your prospects through instant messaging, chat, email, or audio and video greets, then you have to get premium membership.

Premium membership costs $29.95 for one month, $59.95 for 3 months, $89.95 for 6 months, and $119.95 for one year. They accept payments via Visa, Master Card and Amex.
