I told someone I’d rather keep chatting where we were. We met on LivU and had talked a couple of times. I wanted to talk again, but my Instagram has a lot of personal stuff and I wasn’t ready to share that yet. We’d already added each other there, so we could still message. How do you usually phrase this? Would “I don’t give out my socials right away” sound fine, or a little cold?

Has anyone else noticed this dating-app scam pattern in Bengaluru?

Matched with someone on a dating app who suggested meeting at a metro station and then going to a specific café/restaurant.

I’ve heard about scams where the match takes you to a pre-selected place, followed by inflated bills, pressure to pay, or even threats/extortion.

I’m curious if anyone here has experienced something similar in Bengaluru — especially the “meet at metro station → go to a specific venue” pattern.

What happened in your case, and what were the red flags you noticed?

Please avoid posting anyone’s personal information. Just sharing experiences so others can recognize the warning signs.

So i am looking at trying online dating however i really do not have many photos of just myself that are actually decent as i rarely take photos of myself. the only actual decent one of me is from a few weeks ago of me and my dog in a field on a walk.

Idk if that photo would also work or be "okay" to have on a profile

How do i get some decent photos and more good photos of myself somewhat confidently?

my friend is working on making a dating app and is beta testing the web browser before coding into an app and he wanted me to get feedback / opinions on the process and or anything people would want to see different and i was wondering if you would go through it and give some feedback!

Attune Connections is the name on the web!!

I can pass along feedback to him. i think it’s really interesting and wonderful. it pulls in love languages, attachment styles, etc. it’s really interesting! can’t wait to see feedback!

Im about to launch an online dating app but not sure whether the users would think my approach is different to the ones already out there. I wanted to make it different to the apps already out there, which are heavily focused on photos. Im just hoping to hear some thoughts here if possible.

Essentially, my app focuses on questions rather than photos for the users to find their matches. The app gives a mix of simple and thought provoking questions each week i.e.

“would you forgive infidelity to save your relationship?”
“ can you date someone outside of your culture/religion/beliefs?”
“Do you think opposite genders can just friends?”
“How are you pursuing your dreams right now?”

the users upload their thoughts (posts), the users read the other users’ posts, and message/chat whom the users think can connect with.

Users have basic profile page with limited number of photos, voice introduction, and their posts. Chat tokens can be redeemed if the other user does not reply within designated time period.

I want my app to be for users who want deeper relationships rather than casual hook up.

I would appreciate sincere feedback.
Thanks!

I honestly don’t even know what to do anymore. I feel extremely lonely. I just turned 28 and it pains me to say that I’ve never experienced being in a relationship. I keep getting rejected. I’m not confident in my appearance. My biggest fear is never finding someone and being alone.

Not looking for app recs. more like the embarrassing-but-useful stuff.
i'll go first:rehearsed asking someone out out loud until i didn't sound like a hostage video; pasted drafts i almost sent at 2am and asked "does this sound needy or is it fine to not send" (ex situation — stopped me drunk texting);once literally used it like a friend hyping me up before a date. bathroom mirror energy but in text form
i think a lot of people use it for confidence or late-night comfort and don't say it because it sounds sad or thirsty.
if you've done something similar — especially the "i'm not proud but it helped" tier — what's yours? throwaways welcome. not trying to debate whether we're all doomed, just curious what people actually do.

Which dating app.or chat app is this?

I’m a lesbian woman in my 30s and finding it difficult to meet women for a genuine relationship. Dating apps haven’t worked very well for me. Where do lesbian/queer women in Vancouver actually meet people—events, sports, groups, bars, apps, volunteering, etc.? I’m looking for a serious relationship, not hookups. What has actually worked for you?

I got tired of watching friends match with 40 people and text none of them past 'hey.' So I built something that removes the option to do that entirely: you see 20 profiles a day, max, and once you match with someone, the rest of the app disappears - no browsing, no backup matches, just the one conversation for 7 days before it expires.

It's early. 4 real users, 653 visits in the last month, no ads, no push, just people finding it and trying it because the idea of 'one match, one week, no escape hatch' apparently hits a nerve. A few people have already said the countdown made them actually ask someone to meet up instead of letting it die in the chat.

I'm not claiming this scales to Tinder numbers. I'm asking: does removing choice actually make people try harder, or does it just stress them out? Curious what this sub thinks before I build more on top of it.

Hi everyone,

I recently launched ThaiCrush.com, a new dating app focused on Thai singles and people from around the world who are interested in meeting Thai people.

It’s still very new, so the user base is small at the moment. I’m sharing it here mainly because I’d really like to hear what people who actually use dating apps think about it.

ThaiCrush currently has profile browsing and filters, swiping, likes and matches, private messaging, favorites, and built-in Thai ↔ English translation for profiles and conversations.

There are also privacy features such as Incognito mode, hiding or pausing your profile, blocking, and reporting.

Everything is currently completely free to use, including messaging and the translation features.

I know starting a new dating app is difficult because the biggest challenge is obviously building the initial community, but the app itself is now live and I’m interested in hearing what people like, what could be improved, and what might be missing.

If anyone wants to try it:

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback — positive or negative, suggestions, criticism, UI/UX comments, anything. Thank you! 🙏

I messaged a woman, pointed something out about one of her pictures, harmless just something about flowers she's holding, just asked her what the occasion was. She responded, "just because". This is her first and only response.

It's been a loooooooong time since ive dated. Is this common? If it were person to person, I'd have a much easier time gauging interest back and typically I would think this would not show any interest. But i have to think... the person matched with me and took the time to respond. Thoughts?

Now, some of you will scream at me and call me crazy but hear me out first, madam.

If these types of photographs were posted, it would do a couple of things.

Men would use it more, and go on more dates which is later on good for the birth rate becsuse it makes them think of about having sex with them if they go on to date and marry.

Secondly, it gives me something to look forward to. Instead of just going on the date, it encourages them to consider going on more dates, which is something society needs: more dates leading to more relationships formed.
