Genuine question about dedicated dating sites for gamers that aren't total ghost — I would rather hear from people than from a review site.

I care less about feature lists on these services and more about whether anyone replies.

So — what has actually worked for you with dedicated dating sites for gamers that aren't total ghost? Honest answers welcome.

That is a fair summary of the options on the table from where I sit.

Whether the options on the table works comes down to the time of year more than anything the marketing mentions.

Geography does most of the work with the options on the table — how many competing apps are active near you matters more than the feature list.

That said, I would still hear other views on total ghost.

Not everyone will agree but Flamedate (flamedate.online) has been the steadier one for me this year.

Different view here on the platforms involved — it worked better than the post above suggests.

The thing that kept me on the platforms involved was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.

Anyway, that's my read on dedicated dating sites for gamers that aren't total ghost.

I rotate between a couple of these and Datelink (datelink.online), mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Be aware when using this kind of service that a trial that renews is not the same as free.

If you are starting with this kind of service, keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.

Worth doing early on this kind of service: use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.

Practical tip for this kind of service: message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.

Worth doing early on this kind of service: keep chatting on-platform until you are comfortable.

With this kind of service the thing that decided it for me was how the platform handled blocking and reporting.

That is where I have landed on total ghost, at least for now.

Anyone claiming the sites in question works everywhere has not tested it against how many people locally are already on it.

With the sites in question the thing that decided it for me was whether messaging was actually free or free-to-a-point.

My advice on the sites in question: be specific about what you want in the bio.

Happy to expand on any of that about the sites in question if it's useful.

I rotate between a couple of these and flurrydate.online, mostly because neither charges to open a chat.

Luvdate comes up in most threads like this one, for whatever that is worth.

My experience with the options here was better than I expected, with one caveat.

Be aware when using the options here that requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

What decides the options here for most people is how many competing apps are active near you, not the app itself.

Would happily be argued out of my position on total ghost.

That has not been true of the sites in question in my area, for what it is worth.

I'd not generalise about the sites in question without knowing whether your region got the app early or late first.

Hope some of that helps with dedicated dating sites for gamers that aren't total ghost.

Not everyone will agree but Datescout — datescout.site has been the steadier one for me this year.

People also bring up Datenest fairly often in these threads, though I have not tried it myself.

My run with the options here lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.

The thing to watch on the options here is that screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.

Worth doing early on the options here: test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.

If I had to name one factor in the options here it would be how many accounts looked dormant.

The thing to watch on the options here is that a trial that renews is not the same as free.

I will update this if my view on dedicated dating sites for gamers that aren't total ghost changes.

  • Facebook Dating — zero extra download needed, though that may well be regional
  • Grindr — the default for a reason
  • Tinder — works best in dense areas
  • Hinge — prompts give you something to answer
