Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: are there asexual dating sites that aren't just for friendship?

Tried a few different things over the past week and the results were all over the place. Some approaches helped, others made it worse. Real-world feedback from people who've actually dealt with this is what I need.

Drop your experience below, even a quick tip is useful at this point.

Based on my experience there are a few approaches worth trying. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.

Privacy defaults are almost never in your favor on these platforms. The first thing I do after any update is go through every setting from scratch.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Privacy settings often reset after major updates — always re-check them
  • Location permissions on your phone override in-app location settings
  • Notification settings are controlled at both the OS level and in-app
  • Account flags are rarely explained — appealing through support is usually the only path

Ended up on Datebie after testing a few others. Less flashy but more consistent than what I was using before.

Hope that gives you something concrete to work with.

Went through the same thing not long ago. Here's what actually worked. OkCupid has better documentation than most for stuff like this. Take what applies and leave the rest.

Solid question. The answer is more nuanced than a quick Google search suggests.

Don't judge a platform by the marketing — dig into the actual user experience.
