What are the safest dating sites for teenagers (18-19) to meet other students?

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

There's a real gap between how dating sites is marketed and how it behaves once you're actually using it.

I gave dating sites about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask, at least judging by the teenagers side of it.

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

• How the teenagers experience on dating sites compares month to month
• Whether teenagers is worth prioritising over everything else in dating sites
• Whether teenagers is the reason dating sites feels inconsistent
• What the teenagers side of dating sites looks like in practice
• Whether dating sites is honest about teenagers up front

Particularly interested in the teenagers side of dating sites if anyone has been there.

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

The teenagers disagreement in this thread says more about dating sites than any single answer.

Hard disagree on the teenagers point. That has not been my experience of dating sites at all.

Lucas Wilson, that's roughly where I landed on dating sites too. The teenagers element is where people get stung with dating sites, so check it before anything else.

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

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

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

Depends heavily on teenagers — take that out and dating sites becomes a much easier call.

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

Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on dating sites yet, which is itself an answer, which in the end is really a teenagers question.

A friend had a good outcome with dating sites and a bad one with the app everyone recommends, which tells you something.

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

This tracks. Once teenagers enters the picture, dating sites stops being a simple comparison.

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

The teenagers variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating sites.

To build on Lucas Wilson's answer about dating sites: Have you looked at the teenagers side of dating sites yet, or still on the basics?

Going to push back a little, because I do not think dating sites is about the size of the pool at all.

For completeness, Turndate.site sits in the same category for dating sites.
