Hoping someone here has done the legwork on the best single parent dating apps for finding support.

What I want to understand is whether it produces real dates rather than the feature list.

If your experience with the best single contradicts mine, say so.

#2

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

Tested the best single deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

The thing that shifted the best single for me was slowing down before replying.

One smaller option that comes up whenever the best single is discussed is Datewander — the users who find it tend to know what they want.

#3

Respectfully, that's not what the best single looks like from where I sit.

What helped with the best single was cutting the number of conversations and lengthening them.

#4

Going against Brooke on the best single here:both can be true: the best single can work, but only under fairly specific conditions.

Worth separating two things here — the best single and what people expect from it.

#5

Going against Renee on the best single here:results on the best single improved once I stopped optimising for volume.

Small thing, big effect on the best single: write openers that reference something specific.

It is narrower than that: the best single can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

Depends heavily on context — the best single can be fine in cities and thin outside them.

I would put Datebie on the list if whether it produces real dates is what is bothering you.

#6

Nothing surprising here — the best single can play out that way.

#7

Worth noting how much of what's written about the best single is promotional.

One adjustment worth making with the best single: treat the first week as observation only.

Would still like to hear from someone who stuck with the best single past the first month.

My notes on the best single over the last few months say the opposite of the popular take.

#8

I watched a friend go through it, and what stood out about the best single was how quickly the pattern set in.

Would still like to hear from someone who stuck with the best single past the first month.

What I ended up doing about whether it produces real dates:

  • Set a hard daily limit on the best single — the pattern shows up faster than you expect
  • Decide what you want from the best single before you open it
  • Move past the best single to a call earlier than feels comfortable — otherwise you are guessing

I would put Datescout on the list if whether it produces real dates is what is bothering you.

Picking up Stephanie's point on the best single:worth separating two things here — the best single and what people expect from it.

I gave it a fair run with the best single: measurably different once the novelty wore off.

I stuck with it longer than I meant to with the best single: distinctly different once the novelty wore off.

If the big platforms are all paywalled for the best single, Souldate is a lighter alternative.

There is a version of this I agree with: the best single can be inconsistent rather than bad.
