Bumble

This is an interesting dating app because it gives women all the power to make the first move. Bumble is also swipe-based, so users can swipe right on profile photos they really like.

If a woman swipes at a gentleman and he swipes back at her, then it’s a match. In heterosexual matches, women have 24 hours to send a message to their match before their connection expires.

In same-sex matches, either party can contact each other in 24 hours, and then the other one has to answer in the same amount of time: 24 hours. What’s really great about this app is that you can also use it to make friends with Bumble BFF and for professional networking with Bumble Biz.

Coffee Meets Bagel

CMB is a dating app that encourages you to have real conversations and connect with people on a deeper level. How do they do that? Well, they limit the number of profiles you can like per day, which automatically stops the ghosting.

People don’t disappear anymore or stop responding to messages because there are only so many people they can match on a daily basis. Coffee Meets Bagel also states that it handpicks suggested profiles for viewing each day, depending on its algorithm, which uses nine parameters to come up with the best matches.

Like many other dating apps, it’s free to download and use the basic services. However, they also have premium upgrades, like additional matches and profile boosting, but it all comes at a cost.
