Building on what Renee said, nobody warns you that site date depends so heavily on how it feels to use. What decided it for me with site date was the profile quality.
You cannot really talk about site date without talking about the hit rate. How it handles day to day matters more for site date than any feature list. Once I stopped worrying about the setup, site date got a lot simpler.
Hope that gives you something usable for site to date singles only that aren't also on Tinder.
The rules I settled on for site date:
- give it three weeks before deciding anything about site date
- budget two weeks before deciding anything about site date
- give it a full month before deciding anything about site date
None of it is complicated, and it is what site date came down to.
