Figured I'd ask this community since you tend to have more honest takes than review sites. Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when you're still getting to know someone new.
Specific and thoughtful opening messages get responses at a far higher rate than generic openers. Polyamorous dating communities have largely consolidated around Feeld which handles it well.
Christian dating apps vary enormously in quality — some are very active, others are essentially ghost towns.
Safety considerations I keep in mind:
- Tell a trusted friend your plans and share your live location during any first meeting with a stranger.
- Separate email addresses dedicated to dating activity is just good basic digital hygiene.
- A VPN helps with general browsing privacy but is not a complete solution for anonymity on dating apps.
- Screen recording during video chats is a real concern — keep identifying personal details off screen.
