Let’s not forget there is still time to find love (or even something casual) before the holiday while everyone single takes a moment to sigh loudly.
Here are the top dating apps to try out in light of that. My recommendations are primarily based on my personal experiences with dating apps.
Bumble
Table of Contents
Bumble is essentially a timed version of Tinder for women. Women must message first on Bumble, and if the guy doesn’t respond within 24 hours, the potential match is lost. Because arbitrary time limits were the one thing that was seriously missing from my romantic life.
Some people genuinely value the feature of the timer being intended to promote contact. However, Bumble might not be the best app for you if you procrastinate. Bumble also tends to weed out the slightly more insecure males because women must message first. But compared to other apps, the percentage of overconfident men is higher here. Bumble also has a BFF feature, but since a dating app gallery is not about that, I’ll save that for another time.
Hinge
In 2022, Hinge finally won me over and became my preferred dating app. I was never sold on the initial focus of the app, which was on Facebook connections and mutual friends that you and a potential partner shared. But it later changed direction and abandoned this model. Hinge’s user profiles are meant to be more engaging (and helpful) than those on apps like Tinder.
You can choose to make a lot of useful disclosures that might be deal-breakers public, including your political opinions, your religious beliefs, how frequently you drink alcohol, and even how interested you are in having kids in the future. And Hinge’s prompts do make for more interesting profiles. The dating app I would suggest using if you’re looking for a committed relationship is Hinge, whose current tagline is simply “Designed to be deleted.”
Tinder
Tinder has you covered whether you’re looking for a hookup or an LTR (long-term relationship). It serves as a sort of introduction to the dating world. When it comes to online dating, you should probably swipe where everyone else swipes if you want to maximize your chances of success.
The shortness of the profiles is a plus because it makes decision-making easier. Short profiles have the drawback of making it more difficult to determine what people are looking for. Initial messaging can also be challenging when you don’t know very much about the other person. You’ll have to sift through a sea of profiles, which makes it simple to overlook candidates you might have been given a chance to in another situation.

OkCupid
With more emphasis on swiping and the removal of the option to message users without matching with them first, OkCupid has undergone changes in the past year that have made it somewhat more similar to Tinder. You can still send a message, but unless you match, it won’t appear in the recipient’s inbox. Who doesn’t enjoy communicating thoughtfully with someone who may never read it? Although it may not be the best thing, OkCupid has noted that these changes did help reduce the number of offensive messages users received.
Coffee Meets Bagel
A Coffee Meeting Bagel sends carefully selected matches, or “Bagels,” to users every day at noon to provide higher quality matches. The profiles are more detailed than those on Tinder, and they offer icebreakers for first messages. For those who would prefer a little extra support, CMB isn’t the worst option. However, I thought the app was difficult to use because it had too many features and gimmicks. I shouldn’t need to search for online instructions to use a dating app. Why do you call matches bagel-shaped?
The notifications also let me down because they were a little too intrusive and outdated in my opinion. I found myself disabling CMB after I received a notification from it that read, “Show [Match Name] who’s boss and break the ice today!”I kept getting “gently” reminded by CMB to message people I had matched with. Is it just me, or does it seem strange to suggest that a future relationship should have a hierarchy of power? I have friends who have found successful matches on CMB, but it isn’t my preferred app.
