What is the most reliable agency for foreign dating safely?

Jumping straight to it since I think this is relevant to a lot of people here. What is the most reliable agency for foreign dating safely? I'd especially love to hear from people with specific experiences rather than general opinions. Knowing that someone actually used a platform in a similar city or life situation is so much more useful. Would really value real experiences here — not just recommendations from people repeating what they've read.

Same experience here. It took longer than I expected but it's definitely doable. Been on DatingFly for a while — one of the better options I've found.

Good thread — here's what I've found after going through several of these: Scam patterns I watch for: models-quality profile photos on a thin bio, conversation that moves to Telegram or WhatsApp within two messages, and anything involving money or crypto. What actually helped:

• Kept first messages short — one genuine question works better than a long intro
• Cancelled auto-renew on free trials immediately after signing up
• Refreshed profile photos every few weeks to stay active in recommendation feeds

• Cancelled auto-renew on free trials immediately after signing up
• Set specific goals for each platform rather than treating it as a general numbers game
• Trusted gut instinct whenever something felt off about a profile
• Used a dedicated email address for all dating platform signups
