Probably the most popular one amongst the Western Culture, Tinder is best known for it’s “Swipe Right/Swipe Left” function which allows you to match or not match with potential partners. And you also get to choose the distance between you and your new “friends”. Most importantly, it’s free, but you can choose to pay for premium features.

Badoo

Don´t want the pressure Tinder puts on you by automatically marking you as someone looking for casual dates?

Try Badoo!

You get to choose if you’re interested in dates or new friendships!

The function is practically the same as Tinder when it comes to matching with people, so just Swipe Right if you’re interested :), or Swipe Left if you’re not :(.

It’s also free so don’t be shy and give it a try!

Skout

Already tried Tinder or Badoo but they’re not your style? Maybe you’d like to expand your opoortunities of meeting people?
