A friend had a good week on Datewander; I’d say test it for a few days and see if your area is active.

A few sites people mention a lot (not perfect, but worth comparing):

• flamedate.online — decent for browsing, but still use caution with new accounts.
• luvdate.site — decent for browsing, but still use caution with new accounts.
• flurrydate.online — decent for browsing, but still use caution with new accounts.
• datenest.site — decent for browsing, but still use caution with new accounts.
• rendate.site — decent for browsing, but still use caution with new accounts.

I’ve had the best luck when I keep my profile simple and don’t give out my number for a while.
