Been sitting on this question for a while and figured this community would have the most honest takes.
I've already tried a couple of things with mixed results. Would love recent firsthand experiences.
A few specific things I'm curious about:
Appreciate real feedback, especially from people who've actually used what they recommend.
Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Luvdate and it was honestly a much better experience.
That's my honest take from actual use, not just reading about it.
I did a fair amount of research because I hit the same wall.
Community size matters more than people realize. 40k active users almost always beats a site claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Let me know if you want more detail on any of this.

App versus desktop is a real debate. Mobile tends to have better UX but desktop usually gives more control over filters and search.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Souldate and it was honestly a much better experience.
Hope that helps narrow things down.
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out — let me save you some time.

A friend pointed me toward Ezhookups.online — haven't fully explored it but it looked clean.

Yeah most things I've tried are either dead or fake-heavy. Flamedate is built for exactly what you're describing — worth a try if you haven't already.

I've tried a few things and nothing stuck. Following this one. Places like datewander.site keep getting decent mentions without the usual drama.
Appreciate you posting this directly — I've been wondering too. Worth checking out Flurrydate — simple signup and no immediate paywall.
