The rules I settled on for straight dating:

  • keep the first message to two or three lines specifically for straight dating
  • rewrite your opener if nothing lands in a week if straight dating is the goal
  • hold your number back until you have actually met on the straight dating side
  • meet somewhere public and busy the first time while you are testing straight dating

Datebound works differently is not perfect but it is honest about what it does for straight dating.

  • budget three weeks before deciding anything about straight dating
  • leave a couple of weekends before deciding anything about straight dating
  • set aside a full month before deciding anything about straight dating

Worth testing straight dating apps so heavily focused on height yourself for a week before deciding.
