eHarmony

Probably the most classic and trusted dating site for all users is eHarmony. It is believed that someone finds love on this dating app every 14 minutes, which I find so encouraging!

The sign-up process is quite lengthy, especially since you have to respond to plenty of personality questions. However, it also enhances good matches. Those who are looking for something long-term should try Harmony.

Facebook dating

If you are worried that your friends and family will see that you’re looking for love on Facebook, worry no more. Facebook dating doesn’t display on your personal page, and you can create a completely separate account for the dating experience.

In order to make things easier, the platform creates a suggested profile by taking some of your highlights and putting them together. It also tells you if any of your Facebook contacts are also looking for love, which is a useful feature if you want to date someone you actually know in real life, too.

Hinge

When it comes to this dating app, interests and hobbies are central. This way, the whole idea is to go beyond looks when you’re matching with people. Personality questions, likes, and dislikes might help users decide whom to connect with.

For instance, Michele Herrmann, a former Match.com profile consultant, appreciated Hinge for its question format, which asks users about their own interests and displays the information prominently.

Also, instead of simply swiping, Hinge has an “x” and a “skip” button, making accidental profile rejections less likely. The app also has a motto, “Designed to be deleted”, which I find very interesting, especially since so many people who used it ended up in a relationship rather than just a hookup.
