So in addition to trying to get out more IRL I’m trying different dating apps.
Recently I’ve been using Match which I hate but I have had the most success with it in the past, Bumble which is just ok, and Boo which I like but there’s too few users.
In the past I’ve used Eharmony, OkCupid, Hinge and even Tinder.
I just tried Coffee Meets Bagel, Duet, and Waplog, all of which were utterly terrible Tinder clones.
I’ve been using online dating for years so I’m well aware they are junk, but they are at least a place to find people who are interested in dating. So I want to try some new ones, maybe see and be seen by some people I’ve been missing on the other apps. Also maybe find one that hasn’t been destroyed by its investors yet.
But so far I can’t find any new ones that aren’t absolutely terrible. All the reviews on the app stores are clearly fake, hence turning to real human recommendations here.
Also feel free to suggest other services or venues. The goal is to meet people who would be interested in dating. I would be quite happy at this point to try something other than a dating app.😅

Also I should clarify that I'm looking for long term relationships and ultimately marriage. Shared interests are also critical to me so I prefer apps that let me filter users by interest, which is why I've been using Match, Bumble, and Boo since they all have search filters that allow me to filter by interest.
