Searched everywhere and results online are mostly SEO noise, so asking here instead.
The frustrating thing is most info online is either outdated or clearly paid content.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tried a few suggestions.
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out — let me save you some time.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.
Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are obvious suggestions but their restrictions make niche alternatives far more useful.
Flurrydate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
Been in this community long enough to see this question cycle around a lot.
Customer support quality is an underrated trust signal. If they can't respond before you pay, things won't improve after.
Places like datebound.site keep getting decent mentions without the usual drama.

Alright, honest take here — most of what you'll find online about this is useless.
Pricing models are all over the place. Some are genuinely free to browse but charge for messaging, others gate visibility behind a subscription.
The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.
Luvdate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.
Hope that helps narrow things down.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.

That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.

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

After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried DatingFly and it was honestly a much better experience.

Had the same problem last month. Still working through it.

Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.

Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
