Secret dating apps are perfect for adults who don’t want to make their relationship public. They’re a safe way to chat with matches and browse profiles.

The app also allows you to set up different filters for your search. This way, you can ensure that only matches with your preferences are shown.

Inner Circle

Inner Circle is a London-based service that stands by its “strict invite-only policy.” It screens people to make sure they’ll jive with the curated community of inspiring singles it serves up.

It’s a slick dating app that aims to bring together like-minded professionals. It’s also got a really cool feature: Events.

This is where users can put up “who’s up for” questions, letting their matches know what they’re keen on attending or enjoying next. Once they find a match, they can arrange to meet for that event, which makes things a lot easier and more fun than a standard dating service.

Signing up on the website is quick and easy, although account approval can take a while. Once approved, you can start using the site and enjoy its full functionality, although it does cost $5 a week to be fully-paid up.

Happn

Happn is a dating app that uses location-based systems to match you with other users of your preference in the area. It’s ideal for people who love to explore a city or town as it can find you potential matches in places where you may not otherwise have found them.

The app is free to download and use but you can also opt to pay for a premium membership. This gives you access to a lot more features including 10 FlashNotes per day.

The app works by showing you a timeline of the people that you have crossed paths with throughout the day. You can then like the ones that catch your eye or dismiss them by tapping a heart or cross.

LOVOO

LOVOO is a dating app that’s designed for singles who want to chat, meet interesting people and have fun. The app offers 35 million matches a month, and you can also enjoy entertaining live video chats.

Lovoo is easy to use and has a clean design that makes it attractive for users. It’s free to download and can be used on your smartphone or desktop computer.

You can search for members by age, gender and location. The website also offers a “Discover” feature that allows you to browse profiles based on preset search filters.

When you’re ready to get more serious, the “Play” feature lets you select a random member and rate them with a heart or swipe right to decline. This is similar to the “Match” game found in most other dating apps.

Skout

Skout is one of the most popular dating apps in the world, and for good reason. It has plenty of unique features that make it a pleasure to use.

While the app’s layout might be a little confusing at first, you will get used to it. It’s also a fun way to find new people in your area.

Aside from the usual features like swiping and messaging, there’s a unique chat option called “shake to chat” that’s fun to try out. During the session, your profile picture stays anonymous for at least 40 seconds and basic information is hidden.

However, like most dating apps, there are some fake members on Skout. Some have incomplete profiles, and others scam users for money.

Hi5

Hi5 is an online matchmaking website that focuses on helping users to meet new people. The site has a number of games and features to facilitate communication.

It is a social networking platform that unites more than one hundred million members. Its feature set is similar to other dating websites, allowing users to communicate with others through chat rooms and messaging.

The site offers a free member search tool with basic filters of age, gender, and location. The search page also displays a list of active and recently active profiles with ‘Add Friend’ and ‘Message’ buttons.

It has a roulette-type matching feature, allowing members to chat with each other. It is possible to send messages to a selected person, but the option may not be available to new members unless they have paid for a premium membership.
