Hoping someone here has first-hand experience of dating apps. Are there dating apps for 13 year olds that are actually safe and monitored?

I went in assuming dating apps would be straightforward and that turned out to be wrong.

Detail matters here, so please be specific about which part of dating apps you mean.

Where dating apps is concerned, the safety question is the one worth asking first.

If we're talking dating apps, I'd rank safety above almost everything else.

#3

Allison's take does not match what I have seen with dating apps, because protecting yourself has to be the baseline.

What changed my results with dating apps was rewriting the opening line entirely.

The tell with dating apps is usually how the account handles a direct question.

Worth a look if you want a comparison point — Datelink handled dating apps better than I expected.

My read on dating apps: risk management beats feature comparison.

You can usually spot the difference on dating apps by how the account handles a direct question.

Turndate came up when I was researching dating apps and it held up in testing.

What Liam said, with one addition: being careful pays off more than being fast.

You can usually spot the difference on dating apps by whether the bio reads like it was written by a person.

The tell with dating apps is usually whether the photos look professionally shot.

Having tried a fair few, I would say staying safe matters more than feature lists when it comes to dating apps.

How fast conversations stall is more useful than app store ratings, at least in my experience with dating apps.

The visible activity level is more useful than download numbers, at least in my experience with dating apps.

Worth a look if you want a comparison point — Datebound handled dating apps better than I expected.

Three things I would look at with dating apps:

  • whether account deletion actually works when you test it against dating apps
  • whether the reporting flow on dating apps is configurable at all
  • if the profile prompts holds up under real use — worth checking before you commit to dating apps

Jake_NYC makes a fair point but I have found the opposite with dating apps — I'd rank safety above almost everything else.

For anyone weighing up dating apps — safety habits matter more than which app you pick.

My read on dating apps: safety habits matter more than which app you pick.

One more data point on dating apps: Ezhookups was better than the reviews suggested.

I think Jake_NYC is half right about dating apps: the safety question is the one worth asking first, but the rest depends on the platform.

Rewriting the opening line entirely made more difference to my dating apps results than switching platforms did.

#8

Closing the loop on dating apps — the safety side is what I'd weigh hardest, which was not what I expected going in.

Having tried a fair few, I'd say keeping yourself protected outranks convenience when it comes to dating apps.

Staying safe matters more than feature lists, and that applies to dating apps as much as anywhere.

The honest answer on dating apps is that the safety question is the one worth asking first.

The tell with dating apps is usually whether the replies reference anything on your profile.
