Gay Dating: find love with eharmony

by eharmony Editorial Team February 14, 2024

Did you know over half of queer adults say they have used a dating app to find a partner?1 If you’re considering dipping into the world of gay dating or would like to branch out from a more traditional gay dating website, eharmony is the perfect choice. In this article, we’ll walk you through why we’re a great option for gay singles like you and offer a few tips on getting started.

Navigating gay dating challenges with eharmony

Finding the right person is rarely as easy as the movies make it seem, but men seeking men and women seeking women have additional challenges. Not only is the dating pool smaller, most of the popular sites for online dating for gay men and women tend to draw people who’re looking for something casual.

At eharmony, we work hard to create an open, inclusive environment for all our members. Our focus on compatibility means that, right from the very beginning, you’ll be matched with members you likely have something in common with. While we’re not exclusively a gay dating site, eharmony works with organizations such as GLAAD to better serve our LGBTQ+ members and make sure that we take the community’s specific needs into account as we help you find real love.

How gay dating with eharmony works

Compatibility is really the key at eharmony. 4% of Canadian adults, over 23 million, identify as some variety of LGBTQ2 and eharmony helps you find those on the same wavelength. In fact, you might well have so many matches you’ll need one of our many filters (age, location, interests and hobbies, desire for children…) to help narrow down your choices. And once you have found a potential partner, eharmony’s secure communication platform helps you get to know them better no matter where you are.

Gay dating on eharmony: the basics

How do you get started gay dating with eharmony? It couldn’t be easier. Simply sign up (either via the website or the app), take the Compatibility Quiz and set up your profile. Then check out your potential partners, browse their profiles and hit the Like button on anything that piques your interest – a photo, a hobby, something you have in common. If they Like something back, it’s a Match and you can start messaging and building your connection.

That questionnaire we ask you to take has a vital purpose. We use your answers to pair you with gay singles whose personality will mesh well with yours, and who have the same values and goals in a gay relationship. That initial connection will make your dating journey so much easier compared to other Canadian gay dating sites or apps.
