Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just going to ask directly.

Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users is almost always more useful than one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Standard apps — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — are an option but they're filtered pretty tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Worth checking out Datebie — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you immediately.
Hope that helps narrow it down.
Great question and I think there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this.
My honest advice is to start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy platforms.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but the reality is those platforms push you toward long-term matching, not casual or adult-oriented use.
Honestly datewander.site came up when I was doing my own digging, seems legit.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Appreciate the post, this is a fair thing to bring up. A lot of people here have been pointing folks toward Turndate lately and for good reason.
Honestly same question, I've been hunting for this too.

Places like datewander.site keep coming up in honest reviews, which usually means something.
Hope that helps narrow it down.
