Top 16 Dating Apps To Try Before 2020 Ends

Might as well try something new.

If you are a single person living until 2020, there is a chance that you downloaded a dating app during the new coronavirus pandemic. And if you were already on the dating apps, there is a chance that you have swiped so much that you have reached the end of Tinder. Or maybe you're just looking to try something other than the usual apps. Well folks, I'm here with good news - there are tons of other apps to try if you're interested.

Below you will find a list of the 16 best dating apps worth exploring. If you feel like mixing things up or are looking for an app that suits your interests, you can find some good options here.

1. XO

After a while, the swipe apps start to feel like a game, but XO has gone one step further. Instead of wasting energy finding the perfect pickup line, you can play with your matches. What kind of games? Harmless icebreakers (like Two Truths and a Lie) or games where both of you must answer a random question.

2. Send

If you're tired of swiping, Submit is a solid option. You can recruit friends to swipe on your behalf, and if you match someone (whose friends are presumably swiping across them), you can start chatting. The fun of Ship? There is a group messaging feature in the app so that you and your friends can discuss potential matches in detail.

3. Dating on Facebook

If you're interested in joining the group of people on Facebook looking for romance, just opt ​​in and set up your profile to get started. The main draw here is that Facebook has a large number of users, so you will have options. Fortunately, the app doesn't track your Facebook friends, so you'll avoid that embarrassing moment when you see someone you know on the app. And if there is someone on your friends list that you like, you can use the Secret Crush feature to drop a hint.

4. Hinge

As "the dating app that's designed to be shut down," Hinge has many devotees. Profiles include engaging questions that help users find common interests. The app also logs in to find out if you've met your partner, and that can prompt you to keep track of potential connections. Will you end up finding love and deleting that app? It's unclear, but the interface is definitely deeper than apps that only ask for 240-character bios.

5. Taste buds

If you are a person who swoons with a carefully selected playlist, this might be one of the best dating apps for you. With music lovers in mind, Tastebuds allows you to interact with people according to your musical interests and exchange songs with them. Uniting your love for pre-pandemic metal concerts could be the spark that ignites a connection for a lifetime.

6. Stripe

Known as "Tinder for Famous People," Raya is an invitation-only app with a fairly intense waiting list and application process. The app has no free features, but if you are accepted, it costs less than $ 10 for a month. Whether you will find love or not is anyone's guess, but there is a chance that you will see someone semi-famous if you swipe long enough.

7. CoffeeMeetsBagel

This application is designed to create "meaningful connections" between users. So instead of unlimited swiping, the app releases a batch of "fresh bagels" every day at noon. In theory, the limited number of options encourages greater discernment than a traditional app, and the icebreaker conversations prompts are meant to take you beyond "Hey, how are you?"

8. Hornet

If you are looking for a Grindr alternative, Hornet is an app that centers around men looking to date other men. The interface is fairly intuitive, allowing you to navigate and match easily, and as an added bonus, you can send profiles to other people, which allows you to play matchmaker and chat profiles with your chat group. before matching.

9. Choir

If you're tired of sliding around and have a bunch of friends to bid on, Chorus might be the app for you. You create your own profile and select a “choir” of loved ones who will glide on your behalf. The app is meant to be a throwback to when friends were fixing themselves. Chorus also offers a feature called Date Roulette, which lets you match up with potential matches for five-minute video chats. It's like speed dating without leaving your house.

10. Loosid

In times when maintaining sobriety is difficult, it can be helpful to connect with other people without alcohol. Loosid is a dating app, but it also offers community support and platonic connections. If you're looking to hook up with someone who is alcohol-free, or just don't want to explain to a game that you're not in Wednesdays and Quarantines, this app might be for you.

11. Feeld

If you're looking for a threesome and are tired of wading through Bumble and Tinder to find the right partners, Feeld could be a contender. Couples can join the app together and singles can register on their own. This creates the perfect environment for couples and third parties to reunite. Since everyone on the app is at least remotely interested in a potential threesome, you can avoid embarrassment and determine whether or not you are actually a match.

12. More

Let's face it: a lot of us sweep based on how we look. S’More aims to interrupt this trend by creating a user experience where you learn real things about your matches before you see their faces. As you chat, each person's profile picture fades away. There's even a blurry video dating feature so you can talk like the cast members of Love Is Blind. At the moment, the app is only available in New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles. But if you're willing to experience someone's personality before you see their face, this is a solid option.

13. She

Her is a dating app for queer women and non-binary people. With millions of users and robust interest-based communities, the app enables people to associate and connect in an environment that hopefully feels safe and inclusive (there are Its moderators for apply community standards).

Not only can you see if your love is, as the app says, 'written in the stars', but finding someone as passionate about planetary retrogrades as you is is a sure-fire way to have interesting conversations.

15. Meet Mindful

The website states that singles who use Meet Mindful “fully present themselves, connect with intention, and build strong relationship foundations.” So if you want to live as consciously as possible and want someone who feels the same, by all means, get connected. The app looks and works like a typical swipe app, but keep in mind that (like a lot of other niche apps) this might be better suited for people who live in large cities.

16. Lumen

If you are over 50 and looking to date people your age, Lumen can be a great choice of dating app. The company's website says many other options for people over 50 are “dry and boring,” but Lumen is designed for interesting people looking to connect with like-minded people.
