Which Dating App Is Right for You?

The infamous app that started the wave of phone-based dating is tried and true. You might be looking for a casual fling or something more long-term, but you definitely want the other person to message you first. You're not opposed to messaging multiple people at the same time, and you don't mind if those people are juggling a few others yourself. You'll enjoy swiping past hundreds of profiles every time you're out to see if there are any cuties nearby.

You're in it for the long haul, and more casual dating apps won't do it for you. OKCupid's extensive questionnaire will match you up with people by percentage, and from there you can read their rather involved profiles. You'll love being able to carefully select your potential dates based on everything from religion to weekly habits. The app also helps you get to know the person fairly well before you even meet, which makes the ordeal much less awkward.

Bumble is the app for the woman who wants to take charge of her dating life. Rather than waiting for men to message you, you'll match up with potential dates and will then be given 24 hours to send the first message. You'll get a kick out of being the one who initiates the relationship, and you'll especially love not being badgered by annoying pick up lines.

You're a romantic at heart, so most dating apps haven't appealed to you. You're in luck, because Happn isn't about swiping left or right. Instead, you're shown the people you've physically crossed paths with each day. You'll get a kick out of the missed connection aspect of the app, and if you find your true love you'll have a hell of a story to tell your children.

You're definitely looking for a more fulfilling relationship, and Coffee Meets Bagel can help. You're given one match each day, sourced from a connection amongst your Facebook friends. You'll enjoy the lack of pressure in seeing just one match a day, and the fact that you'll only be matched up with friends of friends will make you feel safer when meeting up.

You're a free spirit who values less traditional aspects of relationships. In this case, your zodiac sign will match you up with a likeminded person based on your compatibility. You'll love instantly knowing what a potential date's sign is without even asking, and if you're a true follower of astrology, you'll know exactly what you're getting yourself into before your first date.

You're more passive in the dating scene, and Hitch is perfect for you. Big decisions are taken out of your hands, as your friends will match you up with their friends totally anonymously. From there, you can decide if you want to meet up or not. You'll love being able to participate in a dating app without spending your entire day trudging through hundreds of selfies and bios. This is app is perfect for your laid back approach to dating.

You work best under pressure, and Hinge is here to help your time crunch. After matching up with a potential date, you'll be given 24 hours to message each other. After 24 hours, you'll have 14 days to message each other in the app, after which your messages will be deleted. You love a challenge, so snagging a number in two weeks will be a piece of cake for you.
