Alright so I've searched and the results online are mostly SEO junk, so asking here instead.
Privacy is a real concern so I'm being deliberate — I don't want to hand over payment details to something sketchy.
A few things I'm specifically curious about:
Would really value honest takes. Not looking for perfect, just something that actually works.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
One thing I always check is how recent the activity actually is. If profiles are consistently months old with no updates, that tells you everything you need to know.
The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — exist but they're moderated heavily and built around relationships, not this type of use.
Someone here recommended Rendate a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I received.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I actually found.

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

Alright, let me give you an honest take — most of what's online about this 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 options.
Personally I'd point anyone toward Datedesire before any of the crowded mainstream platforms.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
Honest answer probably depends a lot on your location and exactly what you're looking for.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users almost always beats one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing others toward Datedesire lately.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.
Yeah most of what I've tried is either dead or loaded with fake accounts. A friend pointed me toward datelink.online — haven't gone deep but it looked clean on first impression.

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 you do.
