Welcome to The Dating Association (DA) website. Our aim is to be an industry regulator, to create credibility within the online dating community. We believe that this can be achieved by creating a networking community for dating and affiliate system sites, and promoting sites that take all possible measures to protect their members from harm, fraud and misrepresentation.

Kind regards,
Robert Fathers
Founder and Chairman, The Dating Association

The Dating Association

The Mission of the Dating Association is to drive greater protection for all users of online dating sites against any form of harm, fraud or misrepresentation and to highlight online dating sites that fall short of the industry standards.

This will be achieved by:

• Creating a networking community for the internet dating industry.
• Encouraging monitoring and self-regulation of all dating-sites and their owners.
• Establishing a code of conduct for members of the DA to follow.
• Identifying the sites that use best practices to protect their members from misrepresentation and deception.
• Publicly exposing the sites that take insufficient precautions to protect their members’ interests.
• Launching a DA ‘seal of approval’ calibrated rating system, such that site users will know which sites provide the best – and the worst – secure service for their members.
• Highlighting recent news and developments within the internet dating industry.
