Wanted to open a thread on there any free texting dating sites that don't charge you to read your messages because the coverage elsewhere is shallow.

Everything hinges on the free-tier limits as far as I'm concerned.

If anyone has genuinely worked through read messages, I'd rather hear specifics than general endorsement.

I tried it myself with read messages: substantially different once the novelty wore off.

Happy to revisit read messages if someone has newer experience.

For a smaller userbase with less noise around read messages, Datewander is worth twenty minutes.

CassandraM has this right about read messages —i gave it a fair run, and read messages behaved exactly as you say.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of read messages.

Tested read messages deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

Datingfly came up when I was comparing free tiers for read messages and it held up — it does not gate replies behind an upgrade.

Going to disagree here — in the end, read messages is not the weak point.

I gave it a fair run with read messages: a lot different once the novelty wore off.

There is a version of this I agree with: read messages can be inconsistent rather than bad.

I have seen Flurrydate raised in similar threads without anyone backing it up.

Small thing, big effect on read messages: write openers that reference something specific.

Kept a tally on read messages in the past year and the numbers were not what I expected.

I'd treat confident claims about read messages with some suspicion, including mine.

Worth adding Datebound to whatever shortlist you are building around read messages.

On balance, opinion on read messages swings further than the reality does.

There is a version of this I agree with: read messages can be inconsistent rather than bad.

Ran read messages alongside two others for comparison and the gap was quite a bit smaller than advertised.

The one I keep returning to for read messages is Souldate, mostly because the messaging is genuinely open.
