In my experience, expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — nobody tells you this at the start. What is the fish dating site and how does it compare to Tinder?

Treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — your mileage may well differ.

Honestly, a bad week is a bad week, not evidence about the platform — worth testing yourself rather than taking my word for it.

• Honestly, support response time is a decent proxy for how the site is run — i would not have believed it a year ago.
• Gave a conversation three or four exchanges before suggesting a meet
• It became automatic — I gave each platform a fair month before judging it, and I still do it now
• Without fail I checked what the platform did with my data before uploading anything

If it helps, expecting any single conversation to work out is the wrong frame — your mileage may well differ.

Someone pointed me toward Souldate was the one and I'm glad they did — cleaner than most of the alternatives. Datebound worked for me

A site confident in its product does not hide the pricing page — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today.

From my side, results vary a lot and a quiet fortnight means very little — that is the bit I would tell anyone signing up today.

My take: one specific question outperforms any amount of charm — happy to be argued with on that one.

The handful of things that moved the needle for me:

• One habit that stuck: I kept the first meeting short, public and easy to leave, no exceptions
• Led with one clear, well-lit picture of my face and nothing else
