While this service is one of the priciest, it’s pretty amazing and beloved by its users. Zoosk is highly customization, allowing you to find people who are interested in serious relationships or just dating. It also has the Mega Flirt option which introduces you to tons of singles at once without forcing you to pick someone and start a conversation with them. We’re not calling anyone out, but Zoosk is one of the best apps for shy people.
OkCupid
This site is another one that’s pretty old and reliable. Much of its success is due to the fact that okcupid is extremely inclusive and safe for all sorts of users, one of the reasons why it’s so popular within the LGBT community. The site starts by asking you some personal questions such as your pronouns, sexual orientation, and interests. After adding these results into its database, it pairs you up with other users who share similar characteristics.
