Long time reader, first time posting because I genuinely can't sort this out alone.

Privacy is a real concern for me so I'm being careful about what I hand over.

Let me know your experience. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to test things.

So I went through exactly this a few months ago and here's what I found.

The verification approach varies a lot by platform. Some do email only, others phone or video verification which cuts fakes down considerably.

Worth checking out Datelink — simple signup and no immediate paywall.

Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.

Did a thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I found.

My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.

Places like rendate.site keep getting decent mentions without the usual drama.

Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out — let me save you some time.

App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.

Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

Honest answer depends a lot on location and what exactly you're after. After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Flamedate and it was honestly a much better experience.

Good question. Been in the same spot recently.

Tried a couple options last month with very mixed results.
