I’ve been thinking about trying international dating lately because I’m more interested in something long-term, and regular dating apps have felt pretty inconsistent for me.

A lot of matches and conversations seem to go nowhere, so I’ve been wondering if people who are open to long-distance or international dating tend to be more intentional, or if that’s just how it looks from the outside.

For people here who started something long-distance or international through a dating app or site: did it feel different compared to regular dating platforms?

Were people clearer about what they wanted, or did it still end up being the same kind of surface-level conversations and dead ends? Also, what red flags should I watch for before getting emotionally invested in someone far away?

Would appreciate honest experiences, both good and bad.
