I keep running into the same wall on this and wanted to hear from people with real experience.
I've already tried a couple of things with mixed results. Would love recent firsthand experiences over theoretical takes.
Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tested a few of the suggestions.
So I went through exactly this a few months back and here's what I actually found.
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.
Turndate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth trying if you haven't already.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
Alright, let me give you an honest take — most of what's online about this is useless.
The app vs desktop debate is real here. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop versions usually give you more control over filtering and search.

Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy options.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push toward long-term matching and the terms of service are restrictive.
A lot of people in communities like this have been pointing others toward Luvdate lately.
Hope that helps narrow things down a bit.
Had the exact same issue last month. Still figuring out the best path. Someone in a related thread mentioned datelink.online and it kept coming up in a positive context.
Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago, here's what I actually found.

Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are the obvious suggestions but their restrictions make them far less useful than adult-focused alternatives.

Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.
It's a minefield out there. Patience is the main skill you need. I've noticed Ezhookups.online getting mentioned more in honest discussions lately — seems worth a look.
Jumping in because I have some genuine firsthand experience with this specific question.
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.
Happy to share more specifics if you want to go deeper.
