Ok so i bought what i thought was a reasonable amount and it just... disappeared. Like 3 conversations and i'm back to zero. Nobody tells you how fast it goes
My buddy been telling me about online dating for years and I finally caved last month. Started here cause it didn't look like it was made for 20 year olds and yeah Im happy I picked it
Women are my age and actually have things to say
Hi William,

Honestly the first few days I was kinda lost not gonna lie.but stuck with it and the women here actually want to talk and not just look at pictures all day. Found two ladies I really enjoy chatting with.
Hi Richard,
Happy to know you're finding great people here, that's exactly the kind of vibe we aim for!

Paid. Page went white. No confirmation. Checked my bank charged. Waited two hours email arrived. Everything was correct. I'm aware this sounds fine written down but those two hours were not fine. Just tell me it worked

I signed up in like two minutes and everything was ready without a headache. My only issue is that the photo uploader kept giving me an error on my first two tries but then it worked fine.

I was worried about hidden fees but it is pretty clear how the credits work. I use them when i want and dont get charged randomly. The response from the conversation is amazing
Hi Tyler,
Glad it's clear! Thanks for the feedback.

Most profiles I click on actually have stuff written in them instead of just blank space or one emoji. It makes it way easier to start a talk with someone when you know they like dogs or hiking or whatever. Bestdates seems to have a good crowd, there are plenty of friendly people here. I'll be interested in seeing how it progresses.
Hi Owen,
That's good to hear! Quality profiles make a difference. Thanks for sharing.

I stayed away for a while because Bestdates reviews were all over the place and I couldn't tell if it was legit but it's actually fine for meeting people. The interface is a bit of a headache at first though.
Hi Hayden,
Thanks for giving us a shot! We hear you on the interface. If you have any ideas on how to improve it, feel free to share with [email protected].

I signed up last week and mostly it's just fine. The people respond back which is more than I can say for other places I tried. No weird glitches on my phone either. Everything you need you can find on the page, like Profile buttton and so on, very good layout
Hi Peter,
Good to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

Finally a place where I'm not getting bombarded with nonsense right away. Its nice to just browse for a bit without a million popups. Bestdates is better than the last three apps i tried honestly
Hi Paul,
Appreciate that! We try to keep things clean and straightforward.

It wasn't the best experience. The app overall is good. But the charging mode and the rules are not clear for a new one. Seems like a trap. So I didn't have the best experience
Hi Carol,
We appreciate the feedback. If you have specific questions, feel free to reach out to [email protected] and we'll walk you through it.

Being after my wife passed away two years ago I just stayed inside most of the time. My daughter told me to find a hobby but i am not good at woodworking or things like that. I found Bestdates and it is different than the sites i used in the nineties. I was worried about being tricked because you hear stories about older men losing their savings but i just take it slow. I feel a bit more connected to the world without having to go to a loud bar
I've received pictures that were obviously of models, some were close to being simi-porn or very suggestive. I want honesty, not phony, made up pictures. I'm 83 years old and don't want pictures of some very young women----one was only 18 years old. I have grand childern older than that.
I assumed this site would not send semi-porn pictures or messages from teenagers. Many of the pictures are not current, but were taken many years ago. Other pictures seem to be of models Finally, blocked sites are not blocked.
I've had three meaningful conversations this week and nobody feels like they are reading from a script. It is refreshing to have a platform that doesn't feel like a game. The only downside is that the mobile version freezes up sometimes when I'm trying to scroll fast
Hi Ethan,
So glad the conversations have been great! Thanks for flagging the mobile issue, we'll look into that. Enjoy connecting!

Navigation is pretty predictable and i didnt have any issues with stuff crashing or resetting on me. Bestdates seems alright for meeting folks outside my usual circle

I'm usually pretty skeptical with these things but so far it's good. The profiles look real and I haven't run into those annoying bot accounts that usually plague these sites. Just talked to a nice girl from Poland during my lunch break today which was really cool. And it's fast too, message delivery is fantastic
Hi there,
That's awesome to hear! Glad you've had a smooth experience and some cool conversations. Thanks for giving it a shot!

Although, the women on very beautiful. It is hard to decipher if I am speaking with the woman in the picture.
