In my experience, the people posting about success are a tiny and unrepresentative sample — it took me longer than it should have to work that out. Honestly, a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — others here may have had a different experience. Are there free canadian dating sites for over 50 that are active?
In my experience, a platform's age tells you something, but not much — it is the single change that made the most difference.
- Took a break whenever it started to feel like admin
- It became automatic — I let a conversation go quietly if it had clearly run out of road, and I still do it now
- Early on I started to looked at how easy the account deletion process was
My take: progress is better measured in conversations than in matches — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land.
