It is labeled as one of the best free dating sites in the Philippines.
It is more likely like Tinder, as they are both owned by the same company. It is also on swiping and eliminating the user to message without getting matched first. Just like in Bumble, the woman should have to ‘like’ your profile first before you van able to exchange. Just a piece of advice, if she hasn’t liked your profile yet, your message will be visible on your profile on the three places: Discovery, Double Take feeds, and search on the site.
Coffee Meets Bagel
It is also one of the great options to consider if you are looking for a more serious relationship. It might be confusing to use for the first time but the CMB isn't the worst option. Like Tinder as well, it operates in a process of yes or no, and your matches are called “bagels”. Also, like Bumble, it has 24 hours to “Take” or “Pass” your match.
One of the good features of this site is that you are not limited to viewing matches every day compared to other dating sites and apps. Because messages can only last for 7 days, CMB can motivate to move conversations from the app into real life. In 7 days, you can exchange your personal social media accounts (just in case you want to) to continue the conversation you’ve started. Of course, for more extra features on the app, it also offers a subscription that you may opt to.
Every search has pros and cons. Paid or free dating sites or apps, as long as you’re having a great time with someone, it’ll never be a big deal at all. Practice safety at all times and be sure to be safe. If you’re feeling uncomfortable, do not go or stay on the first meet. Online dating is a good experience indeed if you are single. You can match with many individuals with the same interests as yours. Love is everywhere, you can find them anytime and anywhere. Take your time to enjoy the life you want to experience. Just don’t fear to explore, and don’t forget to stay safe while having a good time.
