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.

Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.
Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.
I switched to Datebie a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.
Honestly flamedate.online came up when I was doing my own research and looked legitimate.

Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.
Customer support quality is an underrated trust signal. If they can't respond before you pay, things won't improve after.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing folks toward Rendate lately.
Hope that helps narrow things down.
So I went through exactly this a few months ago and here's what I found.
App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are fine but filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
I switched to Flamedate a few months back and the quality of interactions improved noticeably.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.
