Be honest about deployments and relocation. Warning: scammers often pretend to be deployed soldiers and ask for money for “leave” or “shipping”. Real service members don’t need civilians to pay for these — read our romance scam guide.
We ranked sites on match quality, features, value, safety and ease of use, and weighed how well each fits this audience. Read our full testing methodology.
Some exist, but large mainstream sites like Match and eHarmony usually have bigger, better-moderated communities.
Be wary of anyone who can’t video chat, claims to be deployed long-term and asks for money or gift cards.
