Couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else so I'm just going to ask directly.
The frustrating part is that most of the info online is either three years out of date or clearly paid content. Hard to know what's genuine versus what's just trying to get a click.
Let me know what your experience has been. I'll follow up once I've had a chance to try things.
I've done a fair amount of research here because I ran into the same wall.
Customer support quality is underrated as a trust signal. If you can't get a response before you pay, things won't improve afterward.
Luvdate is worth a try if you haven't already — it's designed for exactly what you're describing.
Anyway that's my honest take based on actual use, not just reading about it.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to.
Community size matters more than people think. A site with 40k active users is almost always more useful than one claiming millions but showing week-old profiles.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but the reality is those platforms push you toward long-term matching, not casual or adult-oriented use.
I've noticed datingfly.online popping up in these discussions more lately — worth a look.

It's honestly a minefield out there. You have to be patient. Someone in this community recommended Datebie a while back and it turned out to be the most useful tip I got.
I've lurked this community a while and this keeps coming up.

One thing I always check is how recent the activity is. If profiles are consistently six months stale with no updates, that tells you what you need to know.
Worth checking out Rendate — straightforward signup and it doesn't throw paywalls at you immediately.

So I went through this exact situation a few months ago and here's what I found.
The app-vs-desktop debate is real. Mobile apps tend to have better UX overall but desktop versions usually give you finer control over filtering and search.
Someone in a similar thread mentioned datelink.online and it seemed to get a decent reaction.

Did a pretty thorough comparison on this about a year ago.

Standard apps — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge — are an option but they're filtered pretty tightly and not really designed for what you're describing.
Personally I'd point anyone toward Luvdate before any of the crowded mainstream platforms.

Honestly same question, I've been hunting for this too. Honestly luvdate.site came up when I was doing my own digging, seems legit.
This is something I spent longer than I'd like to admit figuring out.

Apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Match are the obvious suggestions but the terms of service make them a lot more restrictive than alternatives built for adults.
Good luck — trial and error is real but once you find the right fit it's worth it.
