Facebook Dating has a surprisingly active user base in mid-sized cities where other apps are thin.
One that keeps coming up in threads like this is Datebie — has a solid reputation and seems worth a try.
Tinder Gold is arguably the biggest ripoff in app history — the free version works fine with patience. datelink.online has been mentioned a fair bit in similar discussions.

A couple of platforms that get mentioned a lot:
Worth comparing alongside the mainstream options — Tinder Bumble Hinge Feeld. Results vary depending on your location.
