Random Dating Apps To Try When You Feel Like Swiping Left On Tind (16 items)

• 

  (#1) Bumble

  It's a simple fact: men harass women on dating apps and make the process a crapshoot at best and a nightmare at worst for girls and femmes on these platforms. When you match on Bumble, women—and only women—get to make the first move, filtering out a large portion of unwanted interactions. The platform also comes with photo verification, meaning you're less likely to be catfished on Bumble.

  Tastebuds pairs users up with people who share the same musical interests. By finding matches who listen to the same artists, users automatically have a conversation starter and potential first dates, depending on touring schedules.

  (#3) Coffee Meets Bagel

  Instead of swiping through potential matches all day hoping for a connection, Coffee Meets Bagel sends guys a curated number of matches every day at noon. The app determines matches through the info guys provide so they don't have to waste time swiping through a ton of profiles - much like this helps you determine what dating sites won't waste your time. 

  Once guys select potential matches, ladies are notified and get to decide if they want to start a conversation with their potential suitor. This #LadiesChoice feature means women only interact with men who liked them.
