Try African Dating on eharmony to find authentic connections

by eharmony Editorial Team April 11, 2024

African Dating in the UK

If you’re a single man or woman of African descent looking to find African singles in the UK, or you’re looking for a relationship with someone of African origin, eharmony is a great place to start. Unlike other free African dating websites and apps, eharmony specialises in helping men and women from every culture find meaningful and authentic connections. Thanks to our unique Compatibility Quiz, eharmony ensures that you’ll be paired with African singles who share more than just your culture; our matches are based on your specific personality, so you’ll be one-step closer to meeting someone who you can be yourself with.

Why eharmony isn’t like other free African dating sites

At eharmony, we know that finding someone who gets you is hard, which is why we take the time to really get to know you and what you’re looking for in a partner. Whether you’re Nigerian, Ghanaian or South African; Christian, Muslim or not religious at all, we’ll introduce you to African singles who share your core values – the really important things that real connections are built on. Our setting options also allow you to filter by religion, ethnicity and location, making it even easier to meet compatible African singles from across the UK.

Our Relationship Questionnaire does take some time to complete, but it covers all the core values that will help your relationship to go the distance. Character, ambition and family goals are just a few of the dimensions that we take into consideration, so you can be sure you’ll be introduced to single Africans who share the same beliefs as you when it really counts.

Plus, unlike other free African dating websites and agencies in the UK, eharmony won’t make you spend hours swiping through profiles, searching for someone special. Instead, we’ll only show you potential matches that you’re most compatible with, saving you time, helping to preserve your privacy and making you less vulnerable to scams.

It all starts with a Like 

Not sure how to get the conversation started? We’ve made it easy: if something on a member’s profile catches your eye, just hit Like. Then you have the option to add a personalized message. You can hit Like on answers to profile questions, their hobbies or your similarities. 

Two Likes make a Match 

Once you get a Like back, it’s a Match. Congratulations! You can now swap messages and send Icebreakers or react with a Smile to get to know each other better.  Because we believe love happens when two people connect based on what really matters. If you’re ready to find out, sign up today.
