Is there an anonymous dating app for people in the public eye?

Figured I'd ask this community since you tend to have more honest takes than review sites. Senior-focused platforms attract people who are clearer about what they want, which speeds up matching.

Never share your real last name, address, or workplace before meeting someone in person. Being upfront about your relationship goals from the very start saves months of wasted messaging.

Safety considerations I keep in mind:

• Video calling before a first meet is the fastest way to confirm someone is genuinely who they claim.
• Use a Google Voice number instead of your real number when you're still getting to know someone new.
• Separate email addresses dedicated to dating activity is just good basic digital hygiene.
