Agreeing with the previous reply about app-based dating, for the same reasons.
What changed my mind on app-based dating was whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
If you are starting with app-based dating, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
In a smaller town app-based dating behaves very differently once you account for how many people locally are already on it.
Anyway, that is my read on long-term love.
Counterpoint: I found Flurrydate (flurrydate.online) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
There is a decent thread on Datewander somewhere in the archive if you search.

Respectfully disagree on swipe apps — my experience with swipe apps ran the other way.
That is where I've landed on best gay guys dating app for finding long-term love, at least for now.
For what it is worth I have had better luck on EZHookups than on any of the big paid apps.

Be aware when using dating apps that requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
Be aware when using dating apps that some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
The thing to watch on dating apps is that location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
The part nobody mentions about dating apps is whether profiles felt written by real people.
That is the short version on best gay guys dating app for finding long-term love.
If none of the above works for you, Datelink (datelink.online) is another free one people here mention a lot.

Judging phone apps without knowing whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away is close to meaningless.
Be aware when using phone apps that requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
The variable nobody controls for with phone apps is how many competing apps are active near you.
Before you commit to phone apps, be specific about what you want in the bio.
Happy to be corrected on any of long-term love.
I also keep half an eye on Rendate — rendate.site — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.
Someone will inevitably suggest Datebie, so I will save them the trouble.

My run with dating apps lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
My advice on dating apps: check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.
One warning about dating apps: some free tiers stop you exactly at the reply button.
