It's not just wine that gets better with age.

"Dating" might be in the name, but dating apps are also great for finding casual hookups that don't lead to a relationship — or texting the same ex at 2 a.m. again. These options are the best for cutting right to the chase.

Officially ready to find someone to spend forever with? Itching for something fun and casual after a breakup? Simply looking for someone to sext? Millions of other people are looking for the exact same thing as you — all you have to do is find the app they're on. This guide breaks it down.

We found the dating sites and apps with the most comprehensive free versions.

Nearly every dating app is *technically* open to lesbians, but they don't always feel like the best fit. Whether you want lots of local options or just want to be *pretty sure* that men won't slither into your feed, here are the apps we think will be the most successful safe spaces.

Find safe spaces to meet people who ~get it~.

Find something serious or casual. The choice is all yours.

The Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble trifecta is great for some situations, but they shouldn't always be your last stop.

Find like-minded people who just *get* you.

Match with someone who's cool with going Dutch.

If you find the word "adulting" patronizing rather than aspirational, these are the dating platforms for you.

You have more options than just Tinder and Bumble.

Find your forever love.
