Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out on my own.
Privacy is a real concern so I'm being deliberate. I don't want to hand over payment details to something sketchy.
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
Alright let me give you an honest take — most of what's out there online is useless.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy ones.
Worth checking out Flurrydate — the signup is simple and it doesn't throw paywalls at you every five minutes.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.

The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — exist but they're moderated heavily and built around relationships, not adult or casual use.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
Yeah most of what I've tried is either dead or fake-heavy. A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Datebie lately.
Verification is the biggest hurdle in my experience. Someone in a related thread mentioned rendate.site and it kept coming up in positive context.

Customer support quality is underrated as a trust signal. If you can't get a response before paying, don't expect things to improve after.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I ended up on Souldate and it was honestly a much better experience overall.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
