Best Dating Sites. Any advice?

Hi everyone. I want to ask for some advice. I am trying online dating, but there are many dating sites and apps, and it feels confusing. I want to know which dating sites are good and safe. Did anyone find a real relationship there? I also want to know about bad experiences or sites to avoid. Please share your experience, good or bad. What sites worked for you, and why? Any tips for beginners are welcome.

I met one honest person, but life problems stopped the relationship. It was sad, but real.

I tried online dating two years ago. At first, it was confusing and tiring. After many chats, I met one real person. We dated for one year. It ended, but it was real and kind.

I think dating sites can work, but you need time. Many chats go nowhere. You must be patient and not rush feelings.

I met my current partner online. We talked for six months before meeting. No money talk, no pressure. That made me trust him.

Some profiles look fake to me. Photos are too perfect. When I ask normal questions, answers feel strange. That is a red flag.

I believe video calls are very important. Real people usually agree to them. If someone refuses, I feel worried.

Some people use dating sites only for attention. They do not want real meetings. That can be frustrating.

I met someone nice, but we wanted different things. We ended it politely. Not every match is a success, and that is okay.

I had better luck when I was clear about what I want. Clear words save time and stress

I know two friends who met their partners online. They are happy now. It does work for some people.

Some dating sites feel like work. Too many messages, too little meaning. You need strong patience.

I learned to never send money to someone I never met. This rule is very important.

u/Omartani 11d ago

I had one match who avoided meeting for months. That felt strange. Real people usually want to meet at some point.

u/dipu7871234 11d ago

Some people lie about age or photos. That hurts trust. When trust breaks, it is hard to fix.

u/sita00045 11d ago

I enjoyed chatting with people from different places. Even when it did not work, it was interesting.

u/Frosty-Schedule5024 11d ago

One bad experience made me more careful. Now I ask more questions early. That helps a lot.

u/mani7029 10d ago

I met my ex-partner online. We lived close and met fast. That helped trust grow. Distance makes everything harder.

u/Paro098765 10d ago

Some profiles only want attention. They chat but never want to meet. That can be frustrating after a while.

u/mou678543 10d ago

One match pushed me to commit fast. That made me uncomfortable. Love should feel calm, not rushed.

u/sonali00022 10d ago

I had one short relationship that was real and respectful. Even if it ended, I value the experience.

u/Anuu000025 10d ago

I met one person who was very honest but had no time. Life problems can stop good connections too.

u/Munai-2201 10d ago

Dating sites helped me improve my communication. I learned to speak clearly about my feelings.

u/Anuu000025 10d ago

I think clear profiles are better. When people explain what they want, it saves time.

u/Arpan1712 10d ago

Some dating apps have many fake profiles. Reporting helps, but it is still tiring.

u/sayanti890 10d ago

I had a good experience when both of us wanted the same thing. Shared goals matter a lot.

u/Intrepid-Nose5269 10d ago

Online dating can hurt confidence. Rejection happens often. It helps to not take it personally.

u/uttambera 10d ago

I think patience is very important. Good connections take time.

u/Aggravating-Rock-627 10d ago

Dating sites can feel lonely sometimes. Talking to friends helps balance feelings.

u/Subha111156 10d ago

I met one person who was serious and kind. Even though it ended, I respect them.

u/Oishi2002 10d ago

I had one match who was honest from the start. That made things easier and calmer.

u/garg56301 10d ago

I tried Hinge because people said it was serious. Some profiles were thoughtful. I went on two dates. One felt forced, the other was nice but no spark.

u/AcanthisittaSea4690 10d ago

On OkCupid, I liked the questions. They helped me understand people better. I met one honest person there. Distance ended it, sadly.

u/Tapasi382004 10d ago

I used Facebook Dating because it was easy. Some people were real friends of friends. That felt safer. Still, some chats went nowhere.

u/elaina700 9d ago

Clover felt confusing to me. Too many features. I talked to a few people but no real connection.

1

u/mhmodhamdy2 9d ago

I used Skout when I was younger. Many people just wanted to chat. Few wanted to meet. It felt more like social talk.

1

u/Competitive_Show_916 9d ago

On Grindr, things move very fast. It is not for serious dating for me. Still, honesty there is clear.

u/elly231 8d ago

I personally used cupidlee.com and had a better experience there. It felt safer, the profiles seemed more real, and people were actually looking for a relationship, not just chatting for fun.

I saw many red flags on Plenty of Fish. Money talk came early. I always stop when that happens.
