Dating apps have been around for years now, and nearly everyone has had the same experiences on them. We’ve swiped, we’ve matched, we’ve talked, and we’ve gone out on some pretty disappointing dates.
So do dating apps even work anymore? Well, some of them do.
If you’re seriously looking for a partner, then pick the apps you try wisely - here are some of the better ones out there:
1. Zoosk
Why does Zoosk work? The app has more than 40 million members worldwide, which might sound like a bit of sensory overload at first, but they’ve got a great fix to that.
It’s called Behavioral Matchmaking: the app learns what (and who) you’re into based on your activity, like whose profiles you spend the most time on and who you match with. It then uses that intel to send you matches you might just love - all based on science and your own intuition!

2. Match
Why does Match work? Well, it’s been doing a few things right over the last 25+ years it’s been in business.
With Match, you can find someone who’s basically tailor-made for you, thanks to the app’s super-specific search filters. No matter what you’re looking for in a partner, you’ll be able to find that perfect person. Want a Lutheran who loves cats or an athletic Pisces who’s also a cinephile? Match is here for that.

3. EliteSingles
Why does EliteSingles work? This app takes all the guesswork out of online dating. Instead of making you look for matches yourself - either by swiping or searching - they send super-compatible ones right to your inbox.
Just fill out their quiz when you sign up and they’ll use your results to find you potential dates you’ll actually click with. Easy!
