6 Alternative Apps Like Tinder You Can Use

Trust me, I know all about Tinder. I’ve spent some days staring at my screen, reading, “There is no one new around you.” Well, what should I do then? Just wait for another profile to pop up? And honestly, if I must see another guy holding a tiger or posing beside a sports car, I’m going to puke. So, in those moments, I just want to delete my Tinder app and look for other apps like Tinder.

Tinder isn’t the only dating app available, even though it may be the most well-known. But that works to your advantage. Trying an app that isn’t as popular as Tinder means you weed out the tiger hugging, car posing douchebags that just opt for conventional dating apps. So, it’s time you learned about the other apps like Tinder that you need to look at.

# Bumble

Maybe you’re a guy who’s tired of chasing after women and never getting a reply when you message them. Or maybe you’re a female who wants to go after what she wants. Either way, Bumble is a great alternative.

It’s a dating site made for women by women. Basically, men are not allowed to message first, women start the conversation. If she doesn’t write you in 24 hours, the chat disappears forever. So, there’s no waiting game. If she doesn’t write you, she lost out.

# OKCupid

Everyone has been on OKCupid. It’s like the original dating site. You have an endless amount of people to choose from and you narrow down your choices with a filter.

Plus, people write hilarious profiles which are always great to read. You do have a “Quickmatch” which chooses people around your location. And I mean, OKCupid is just a good time.

# Happn

It’s actually kinda creepy when you break it down, but it seems to work in real life.

Basically, you have your location turned on and the app shows you people you’ve crossed paths with, within a block radius. Then you like them which gives you the option to talk to them. I mean, it’s pretty cool when you think about all those people you could have talked to on the bus but didn’t. Now, you have the option to go back in time, through this app.

# Hinge

They coin themselves the “anti-Tinder” because they don’t allow you to be connected with people you have no connection to. Hinge only allows you to connect with your friends, friends of friends, or third-degree friends. They use your Facebook account to connect you to people that are real. You won’t need to do any small talk because you already have that mutual connection.

# Loveflutter

Instead of showing you what the person looks like, they first show you a 140 character profile of them. Then, if you like what you read, you have the option of liking them to see what they look like. If you’re not into the matching a person based on looks but rather their personality, this is it.

# Coffee Meets Bagel

Kind of a weird name, I know, but this is actually pretty interesting. Everyday you’re given one match, which you then accept or reject. If you both accept, then you have the chance to chat with each other.

But, you’re only given one match a day. One. In some ways, it sucks because you can’t spend twenty minutes on the toilet swiping, but on the other hand, you’re not overwhelmed with faces.
