I was on OKCupid (I still think it’s the best one) for three years wading through completely incompatible guys I β€œmatched with.” I’m so glad I didn’t give up, though. YMMV, my husband was only on there three months before he found me πŸ˜‚

That’s for the hopeful message πŸ’œ

I always liked OKC the most, but the nunber of people using it seems to have just steadily declined (at least in my area). Bumble, Tinder, & Hinge are good. I got kicked off of Hinge for life though with no reason stated, & I'm not sure why. Tinder added more info to their profiles which made it a little better.

Just some food for thought:

Part of why I’m certain I would not have met my husband any other way is we lived some 400 miles apart when we first met online.

I knew that since what I wanted to find was very rare to find all in one person, I was going to have to pick my battles. Where someone lives is much easier to change than how someone thinks, so that wasn’t a priority for me.

We got to know each other really well over Skype, and when things were looking pretty serious and I figured out the logistics, I moved closer to where he lived. Neither of us were living where we ultimately wanted to be, anyway, so there was no problem there.

Maybe not everyone can do things that way, but we are proof it can work very well.
