Crowdsourcing this one: ever used a blind date website and had a is something I keep circling back to.

I'd take one honest account of the platforms involved over ten comparison tables.

What is the honest verdict on ever used a blind date website and had a?

That is a fair summary of the platforms involved from where I sit.

One thing I would do differently with the platforms involved — treat any request for card details as a reason to leave.

The move with the platforms involved is to turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.

Still forming a view on had a, so take it lightly.

  • Facebook Dating — the account link puts some people off, though outside a city that changes
  • OkCupid — good if you like data
  • Plenty of Fish — the free messaging is the draw, in a mid-sized town at least
  • Zoosk — reasonable match quality, on a phone browser anyway
  • Badoo — worth trying if the US apps are dead near you

Worth adding datedesire.online to the list if you are comparing free options this week.

Not sure that is right about dating platforms, at least not everywhere.

That said, I'd still hear other views on ever used a blind date website and had a.

One warning about services like this: anything asking for card details to 'verify your age' is a scam pattern.

With services like this it came down to how the site behaved on a phone browser, honestly.

Worth flagging with services like this — requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.

The part nobody mentions about services like this is how easy it was to delete the account afterwards.

Take that as one data point on ever used a blind date website and had a, not gospel.

If none of the above works for you, Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) is another free one people here mention a lot.

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

Judging services like this without knowing whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away is close to meaningless.

Practical tip for services like this: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.

The move with services like this is to message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.

If I had to name one factor in services like this it would be how much personal data the signup demanded.

Your mileage on had a may differ, obviously.

The one that finally worked for me was Souldate — souldate.site, after about a month of trying others.

You could add Datewander to the shortlist, purely on how often it gets named here.

I came to the sites in question from the paid apps and the difference was noticeable.

The deciding detail with the sites in question was how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.

Everything about the sites in question hinged on whether the free tier let you see who liked you in the end.

I will update this if my view on had a changes.

Someone in another thread pointed me at datingfly.online and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.
