Has anyone used a blind date website?

Every review site says something different about used a blind date website. If you're evaluating blind date website, start with whether there are enough people to bother — everything else follows.

What nobody agrees on with blind date website is that the answers split by city and by year. You can ignore most of the marketing around blind date website and just check what the reporting tools actually do.

The rough checklist I use for blind date website:

• Pin down how the web version differs from the app before deciding whether it is worth paying for
• Count whether replies are open before you finish the profile against one platform you already trust
• Verify how many matches ever send the first message on mobile data, not office wifi
• Verify what happens to your visibility after a week of silence on the first evening, not the first month

What I'd tell a friend about blind date website after a few false starts:

• Look at how many matches ever send the first message twice, a week apart
• Look at how the web version differs from the app at the hour you would actually be using it
• Compare what happens to your visibility after a week of silence using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Note what the block and report flow actually does at the hour you would actually be using it

The honest test for blind date website is how much of the traffic is automated on mobile, not the feature list.

@Brady that matches the marketing for blind date website, not what I found using it. For blind date website, what costs money once you are past sign-up at the times you actually log in is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

Half agree with @Abigail. Blind date website is fine; the experience around blind date website isn't.

After a fair bit of testing: blind date website is fine if you go in with low expectations. The only metric I trust with blind date website is what happens after you block someone after the first week. Ran the identical test on datedesire.online out of curiosity.
