Can confirm the point above regarding adult chat services.
One thing I would do differently with adult chat services — test it on a weekday evening, not a Sunday morning.
The deciding detail with adult chat services was how the site behaved on a phone browser.
If you are starting with adult chat services, check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.

I would question that on chat services, because it depends heavily on where you are.
Would happily be argued out of my position on so many adult chatrooms kick you out for lurking.
If none of the above works for you, DatingFly — datingfly.online is another free one people here mention a lot.

Careful with the messaging side, because the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
With the messaging side it came down to whether the free tier let you see who liked you, honestly.
My advice on the messaging side: be specific about what you want in the bio.
My advice on the messaging side: finish the profile completely before you browse anything.
Whether the messaging side works comes down to the day of the week you actually use it more than anything the marketing mentions.
Happy to expand on any of that about the messaging side if it's useful.

What decides the conversation side for most people is whether your region got the app early or late, not the app itself.
If you are starting with the conversation side, assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
Not the last word on so many adult chatrooms kick you out for lurking by any means.

Been using the messaging side steadily since the spring and it has been fine.
Before you commit to the messaging side, message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
What changed my mind on the messaging side was whether the match volume held up past the first week.
That is where I have landed on so many adult chatrooms kick you out for lurking, at least for now.
Counterpoint: I found Datedesire (datedesire.online) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.

Not sure that is right about chat rooms, at least not everywhere.
If I had to name one factor in chat rooms it would be how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
The move with chat rooms is to set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
I will update this if my view on so many adult chatrooms kick you out for lurking changes.
Someone in another thread pointed me at Flamedate — flamedate.online and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.

I gave text-first platforms a proper go for a couple of months before giving up.
Everything about text-first platforms hinged on whether anyone replied inside the first week in the end.
The thing that kept me on text-first platforms was how much personal data the signup demanded.
My advice on text-first platforms: assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
Before you commit to text-first platforms, be specific about what you want in the bio.
Ask if you want detail on any part of so many adult chatrooms kick you out for lurking.
Not everyone will agree but Luvdate (luvdate.site) has been the steadier one for me this year.

My run with chat services lasted longer than any of the alternatives I tried.
Worth flagging with chat services — moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
The part nobody mentions about chat services is whether the free tier let you see who liked you.
