Genuine question about common dating apps that respect user privacy from someone still working it out. I care mostly about the privacy side, if that changes the answer.

Pete put it better than I would have. if what you give up on the free tier isn't sorted, common dating will not go anywhere. If what it actually costs is not sorted, common dating will not go anywhere. What decided it for me with common dating was the setup.

My checklist for common dating:

  • commit ten days before deciding anything about common dating
  • commit at least a week before deciding anything about common dating
  • ignore the match count and watch the reply rate on the common dating side
  • give it a solid month before deciding anything about common dating

Respectfully, Blake, that has not been my experience at all. you can't really talk about common dating without talking about what you give up on the free tier.

  • commit a full month before deciding anything about common dating
  • leave a fortnight before deciding anything about common dating
