Hi, my name is RyanD! Which dating and friendship apps should I try?

RyanD

Hi
I’m new on here and looking for some info. Has anyone tried dating websites looking for friendships and relationships? I’d rather recommendations as not sure which ones to trust. I’d appreciate any advice.

Hey there @RyanD and welcome to the wonderful community!

I'm moving your post to the relationships category, so more of our excellent regulars will see this and hopefully be able to shower you with all the support and answers you could possibly need!

Have you tried any sites or apps already? 

RyanD

Hi
No I haven’t. I was advised to ask on here to get feedback off members who may have used them previously

From personal experience, I know Bumble has a BFFs section, where you can look specifically just for making friends. I'm not sure if that would be useful for you?

I find I am not distrustful of dating sights or apps. I have found people are put off if I say I have health issues or they think I'm looking for a carer xx

Completelyfreedating and Freedating are free,but the first does not have many people on it. Freedating more like a forum than dating? Same old,same old.

I think at least here u can chat to people and get to know them xx

@dawn45 I am so sorry you got that response! That's awful. 

With dating apps, there are a lot of positives and negatives to their policies. Disability Horizons has a lot of information on dating apps and different dating forums.
