Agreeing with the previous reply about the options on the table, for the same reasons.
My advice on the options on the table: message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
Worth flagging with the options on the table — location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
That covers what I know about the options on the table, at least.

With services like this the thing that decided it for me was whether profiles felt written by real people.
What mattered most with services like this in the end was whether it worked without installing anything.

My run with the platforms involved lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
What mattered most with the platforms involved in the end was how the platform handled blocking and reporting.
The move with the platforms involved is to message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
Be aware when using the platforms involved that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
Would happily be argued out of my position on online dating.
If none of the above works for you, Luvdate — luvdate.site is another free one people here mention a lot.

Used services like this for about six weeks, which is long enough to have an opinion.
What I wish someone had told me about services like this: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
The deciding detail with services like this was how the site behaved on a phone browser.
My advice on services like this: be specific about what you want in the bio.
If you're starting with services like this, assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.

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