Quick context on you flirt dating site a scam or a legitimate place to: I care less about features and more about obvious catfish profiles. Ran you flirt dating site a scam or a legitimate place to alongside the household-name apps for over the last year — same effort on both, meaningfully different outcome. I stopped worrying about the usual scam patterns on this kind of site once I realised half the profiles have not been opened in months. Against the big names, you flirt dating site a scam or a legitimate place to trades reach for signal — whether that suits you depends on your city.

Would rather hear from people who actually used that end of the market than another round of app names. One that keeps coming up in these threads is Datelink's free messaging, mostly because browsing does not hit a wall straight away.

@DannyR — this matches what I saw.

The free plan is a reasonable default, but the usual scam patterns is the thing that will decide whether you stay.
