Not sure if this has been covered before but: Would genuinely appreciate any input. Is there an asexual dating app that is active? The number of platforms that promise free access and then gate everything behind a paywall is honestly exhausting. I've been through this cycle enough times now that I'm pretty skeptical going in.
  • Is there any real moderation?
  • How active is the user base in my area?
  • What does the privacy policy actually say?
Would love to hear from people who've actually tested things. Thanks.

Good thread — let me share what I've found after testing a few different options: I've done the rounds on the main ones — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating, Plenty of Fish — and they all have genuine free tiers, but usability varies wildly. Things that actually helped:
  • Set realistic expectations — not every match leads somewhere meaningful
  • Used a separate email for sign-ups to keep spam under control
  • Always met in a busy, public place for the first meetup
  • Turned off auto-renewal on any trial subscription immediately after signing up
Also hearing flamedate.online mentioned positively in other threads — might be worth a look depending on your location.

The landscape has shifted a lot in the last couple of years — what worked in 2024 isn't always reliable now. For what it's worth, Datescout has been my main platform lately — holds up better than most.

Agree with what's been said above. The key is knowing what you want going in.

Went through this myself last year. Took longer than expected but it's doable. I've been on Datenest for a while and it's one of the better ones I've come across.

Real talk: none of these platforms are perfect but some are definitely better than others.
