Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
So I've tested a handful of options and I'll give you the breakdown.

Standard apps — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — are an option but they're filtered pretty tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
I switched over to Datescout a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.

A lot of people here have been pointing folks toward Datelink lately and for good reason.

Yeah I've tried a bunch and nothing has really stuck. Places like datewander.site keep coming up in honest reviews, which usually means something.
