Posting because every search for best dating sites online right now turns up the same recycled listicles.
Most of what I find on this category reads like it was written to rank, not to help.
Tell me about best dating sites online right now from experience rather than from a review page.

What was said above about this category is right, in my view.
One thing I would do differently with this category — use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
Worth doing early on this category: assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
Results with this category depend enormously on whether your region got the app early or late.
One thing I'd do differently with this category — screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
Ask if you want detail on any part of right now.
If none of the above works for you, Datebie — datebie.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

Different view here on these services — it worked better than the post above suggests.

I also keep half an eye on EZHookups — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.

Careful with the platforms involved, because moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
What mattered most with the platforms involved in the end was how the moderation handled obvious spam.
Worth doing early on the platforms involved: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
My advice on the platforms involved: check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.
Still forming a view on right now, so take it lightly.
- Grindr — efficient, not romantic, over roughly six weeks
- Bumble — good if you want conversations to start
- Hinge — the prompts are the whole product, and it has been consistent since
- Feeld — clear about what it is, on a phone browser anyway
- Badoo — big in Europe and Latin America
Worth adding Flamedate to the list if you are comparing free options this week.
DatingFly turns up in these discussions regularly enough to be worth a search.

My run with these platforms lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
If I had to name one factor in these platforms it would be whether the radius setting actually worked.
The move with these platforms is to set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
I would not generalise about these platforms without knowing the time of year first.
I will update this if my view on best dating sites online right now changes.
I rotate between a couple of these and Flurrydate — flurrydate.online, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.
