Broadly speaking, results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms. Is there a specific parent dating app that makes it easy to filter for other single dads?

Having tried a few, anything that pressures you to move off-platform in the first hour is a red flag — your mileage may well differ.

The honest answer is that it varies enormously by area — your mileage may well differ.

One thing I notice: the slow approach tends to produce better outcomes than the volume one — i would not have believed it a year ago.

For what it is worth, expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — i would not have believed it a year ago. Taking a break when it starts to feel like admin is sensible — i would not have believed it a year ago. For the record, what Luvdate does has been my go-to for a while — holds up better than most. Flurrydate

Going on my own run at this, here is the honest version — take it or leave it:

Speaking generally, consistency matters more than intensity here — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land. Been using DatingFly worked for me for a while — one of the better ones I've come across. what Datewander does

Solid question. From my side, most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — nobody tells you this at the start.datingfly.online also comes up in similar threads — another one to look into.

Speaking only for myself, here is how it actually played out, briefly:

Honestly, most matches go nowhere and that is normal rather than a failure — it sounds obvious written down, but it took a while to land. Someone here pointed me toward Datelink (datelink.online) and I'm glad they did. Souldate (souldate.site)

Consistency matters more than intensity here — it took me longer than it should have to work that out.
