Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just asking directly.
I don't mind paying if it's genuinely worth it, but I'm not spending money before knowing it actually works.
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
Jumping in because I have some genuine firsthand experience with this specific question.
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.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I ended up on Datelink and it was honestly a much better experience overall.

Tested a handful of options and I'll give you the honest breakdown.

Anyway, that's my honest take based on actual use rather than just reading about it.
Good question. Been in the same spot myself recently.
I did a fair amount of digging on this because I ran into the same wall.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without a card on file. That alone filters out most of the less trustworthy options.

Standard apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge are there but they're filtered tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
A friend pointed me toward datebie.online — haven't gone deep but it looked clean on first impression.

Good question. Been in the same spot myself recently. Datelink is built for exactly what you're describing — worth trying if you haven't already.
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out, so let me save you some time.

Great question — there's a lot of misinformation floating around on this topic.
