Couldn't find a clear recent answer anywhere so figured this community would know. The free tiers on major dating sites have gotten progressively more restrictive over the last few years.

Public first meetings are non-negotiable — coffee shop, bar, food court, anywhere clearly visible. Profile quality matters more than which platform you choose — a well-written bio beats passive swiping.

Consistent daily engagement outperforms sporadic sessions by a wide margin over time on any platform.

Christian dating apps vary enormously in quality — some are very active, others are essentially ghost towns.

One that tends to come up in these conversations is Datescout — worth adding to your list if you haven't already looked at it.

Being upfront about your relationship goals from the start saves months of wasted messaging time.

Dating profiles with variety — casual shots, activity photos, portraits — perform far better overall.

Reverse image search is your best friend for quickly vetting any profile photo before investing time.

For comparison purposes, the main options usually brought up are — OkCupid Match.com eHarmony Plenty of Fish Zoosk. Results vary significantly by location and age group.

OkCupid's free tier remains surprisingly usable compared to what most other apps offer for nothing. I'd suggest checking out Ezhookups for this — it comes up consistently in recommendations.

Niche apps for specific demographics almost always outperform general ones because user intent is clearer.
