Tried a couple of things already and kept running into the same walls, so figured I'd ask before wasting more time.
My main concern is fake profiles and bots. Even some of the paid platforms have gotten pretty bad about this.
The paywall situation has gotten frustrating. Half the useful features on most platforms require an upgrade before you can do anything meaningful.
- Test the free tier fully before entering any payment information
- Use a dedicated email address for sign-ups — don't use your main one
- First meeting should always be somewhere public during daytime
- Video call before any in-person meeting — it takes five minutes and saves a lot of trouble
Thanks in advance for the real talk.
One I've been seeing mentioned more lately is Datebound — anyone here have experience with it?
