Is the happn dating app still good for meeting people you naturally cross paths with?

Would appreciate honest takes on dating app — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

I've read maybe a dozen articles on dating app and they all recommend the same five names in a different order.

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

• Whether dating app is honest about cross up front
• Whether anyone has tested cross properly on dating app
• What the cross side of dating app looks like in practice

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

If dating app is the question, Flamedate is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

Natalie Bell, that's roughly where I landed on dating app too. Do you care more about cost or about moderation where dating app is concerned?

Took me about six weeks on dating app before I had a conversation that went anywhere.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Turndate threads solved the messaging-paywall part of dating app for me last year.

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

Have you looked at the cross side of dating app yet, or still on the basics?

Disagree on one point: dating app is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

This thread is drifting toward a consensus on dating app that I don't think survives contact with reality.

Can I ask what you have already ruled out on dating app, so nobody repeats what you know?

Does cross actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating app?

Disagree with AlexLee slightly here on dating app. If cross matters to you then dating app narrows fast, and if it does not you have far more room.

The cross variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating app.

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

Since we're comparing options around dating app, Datebie's free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

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

Which parts of dating app have you already tested, so nobody here repeats it back to you?

Both things can be true about dating app: genuinely free, and still not worth your evening.

Someone will probably mention Datescout.site before this thread is done.
