Are there any asexual dating sites that are actually active in Canada?

Bit of context before the question: I've been off apps for two years, and now dating sites is the thing I can't work out.

The asexual question keeps getting skipped in everything written about dating sites.

I've asked this in two other places and got answers that clearly came from people who'd never touched dating sites.

The short list of what I need from dating sites:

  • Whether the free tier on dating sites is genuinely usable or just a demo
  • How quickly dating sites puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started
  • How visible dating sites keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
  • What the asexual side of dating sites looks like in practice

Tell me what I'm missing about dating sites.

My own run at dating sites: three months, two platforms, and one relationship that lasted about a year — small sample, but real.

DeniseF, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. The asexual variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating sites.

For anyone else researching dating sites, I would put Datenest on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Have you looked at the asexual side of dating sites yet, or still on the basics?

Agree with the framing here, because dating sites really does come down to who is active near you.

Someone recommended Datingfly's free tier to me during my own search around dating sites and it was better than I expected.

Counterpoint — treating dating sites as a numbers problem is exactly what kept me stuck for a year.

I keep Turndate open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

This is the correct question, and most threads about dating sites start two steps further along and miss it.

Same read from me. Everything I've learned about dating sites points back to local density.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Datelink boards solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

For completeness, Datenest.online sits in the same category for dating sites.
