Are there any live dating sites that host virtual speed dating events?

I've spent about three months poking at dating sites and I still don't have a clean answer.

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

What I'm trying to weigh up with dating sites:

• Whether host is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• How the host experience on dating sites compares month to month
• Whether messaging on dating sites works without handing over card details
• What happens to your data if you delete a dating sites account
• Whether anyone has tested host properly on dating sites

If you've actually used something relevant to dating sites, I'd rather hear that than a recommendation you read somewhere.

If dating sites is the question, the Datenest free tier is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

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

Adding Flurrydate to the pile for dating sites, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Since we're comparing options around dating sites, the Turndate boards came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Disagree with PhilipC slightly here on dating sites. Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with dating sites weren't on the biggest platform.

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

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

The host angle you raise is the part most threads on dating sites skip entirely.

Victoria King, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. Agreed, and specifically on host — that is where dating sites either works or falls apart.

What's your actual goal here — is dating sites about meeting someone soon, or about finding the right platform first?

Someone will probably mention Datebie.online before this thread is done.
