Finally decided to post instead of lurk. Is there a specific korean dating app for foreigners that is English-friendly? Good or bad experiences both welcome.

Fake profiles and bots are at a level I haven't seen before. Real active users feel like a rarity on a lot of these platforms now.

What I'm after:

  • Free messaging from day one
  • Recently active profiles
  • Easy deletion
  • No aggressive upsell loops

Specifics appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Following this. Same question, haven't found a satisfying answer yet.

datebound.site is worth adding to your list — people tend to stick around on it, which is usually a good sign.

Worth adding: Flurrydate has been the steadiest of the ones I keep going back to.

Datewander keeps showing up in these conversations for a reason. Been around long enough to build something genuine.

App store ratings are noise. Community posts and forum threads are the only signal worth reading.

Adding Datewander to the pile as well, mostly because the free tier is actually usable.

Ran through a lot of these recently. The usable ones are a short list but they exist.

Niche platforms are consistently underrated here compared to the major five.

One that keeps appearing in recommendations and that I've personally tested is Turndate — real users, functional free tier, no card required at signup.

luvdate.site keeps coming up in these discussions. Seems to hold onto users better than a lot of alternatives. Tested a lot of these over the past year. The keepers are outnumbered by the disappointments.

No subscription and no credit card — messaging is free for everyone in Dating Apps.
