Are there any good free bi dating sites?

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.

Nothing I can find on dating sites addresses dating sites in any depth.

Specifically, on dating sites, the things I actually care about are:

• Whether messaging on dating sites works without handing over card details
• How quickly dating sites puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started
• How dating sites handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
• How much of the dating sites profile pool is dormant or fake

Even a 'don't bother' on dating sites is a useful answer.

Once I sorted out dating sites, the rest of dating sites became much more manageable than I expected.

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating sites was the opposite of what's being described here.

The dating sites part of this is being overstated, because dating sites was fine for me without it.

Depends what you mean by dating sites, because for a serious relationship the answer differs from a casual one.

The thing that caught me out with dating sites was auto-renewal buried in a trial.

the Flamedate free tier is what I ended up using while working through dating sites — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

I keep Ezhookups's free tier open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating sites.

I met my partner through something adjacent to dating sites, so I'm biased, but the process was slower than I expected.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on dating sites are more use than any ranked list.

For me the dating sites side of dating sites was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datingfly's free tier solved the messaging-paywall part of dating sites for me last year.

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

The honest answer on dating sites is that it varies, which is unsatisfying but true.

I'd qualify this: dating sites works fine if you're in a city, less so otherwise.

To build on GarrettL's answer about dating sites: Counterpoint — treating dating sites as a numbers problem is exactly what kept me stuck for a year.

Be careful with dating sites: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

Datedesire.site comes up a lot when dating sites gets discussed elsewhere.
