If you're looking for a romantic connection, you don't have to look much further than your phone these days. In today's hyper-connected world, it's never been easier to meet lots of potential partners from the comfort of your couch. But the convenience of the dating apps presents a slew of other unique dating challenges: analysis paralysis, dating fatigue, ambiguous intentions, one-sided conversations that go nowhere, etc.

Although dating apps can be overwhelming, they're one of the most popular approaches out there and for good reason—we're all on them now. If you're looking to optimize your time, it might be a smart idea to approach the apps with a sense of intentionality, which means, signing up for the apps that will give you the best chance to meet your kind of people. After all, you're not looking to meet everybody—you want to meet the right ones. (Here are all our best online dating tips, btw.)

The best dating apps of 2022:

#1.Best for serious relationships: eHarmony

#2.Best for those looking for something specific: OKCupid

#3..Best for quality interactions: Hinge

#4.Best for seniors: Match

#5.Best for meetups and hookups: Tinder

#6.Best for kink: Feeld

7.Best for women: Bumble

8.Best for queer women: Her

9.Best for busy daters: Coffee Meets Bagel

10.Best for meeting up right away: Clover

#1.Best for serious relationships: eHarmony

Our source may be a little bit biased on this one because Parks met her husband on this app, proving that yes it IS possible to find love in a hopeless place (the internet).

eHarmony requires a financial investment of about $500 per year depending on which plan you choose. With that barrier, it leads to a more serious base of daters, says Parks. There is an assessment that takes about an hour to complete, and that’s not including the regular old "What picture do I look hottest in?" "What bio would be the funniest?" "How can I adequately describe just how fabulous I am with a character limit?" dance that goes with dating on the web.

“You are exposing a lot, and being really vulnerable upfront,” says Parks. “And that can have a big pay off. It’s a very commitment-focused space.” If finding “The One” is at the top of your to-do list, eHarmony may be the choice for you!

#2.Best for the one who is searching for something explicit: OK-Cupid

It's been around for a long time for good explanation. OK-Cupid requests to a different segment for individuals searching for heartfelt associations and in the middle between — kinships, excursions, and elective connections. The site has extra orientation and sexuality choices for clients and nonmonogamy choices, so it's more straightforward to find individuals searching for exactly the same thing.

OK-Cupid is commonly known for its watchword search choices, long-structure profiles, and intelligent character tests to help find viable matches. It's a well known dating site to move away from plain swiping and meet others with a high match rate and shared interests. "OK-Cupid works really hard at being comprehensive for all," Schneider says. In any case, the drawback is that a few fundamental capabilities are locked behind a paywall.

#3.Best for quality connections: Pivot

Not certain how to begin a discussion with somebody? At the point when you set up your profile, Pivot wipes out that issue with intriguing discussion prompts. The implicit icebreakers offer you a lot of chances to share explicit interests and fun realities about yourself to work with better discussions with matches.

Pivot likewise accompanies restricted swipes (except if you pay for a top notch account), however this element is something worth being thankful for. Fewer preferences will propel you to dial back and consider each profile to be an individual, rather than one more face in an ocean of countenances, which dodges thoughtless swiping.

"This is an incredible choice for the individuals who are simply entering the dating scene," web based dating mentor Perri Schneider says. "It has a ton of extraordinary inquiries to get to realize potential matches on the application and another voice note highlight. It's tremendously useful to check whether somebody's voice provokes your curiosity."

#4.Best for seniors: Match

"In the event that you end up on the higher finish of the age range and you don't flow with the ongoing dating applications, Match is an extraordinary decision assuming you're willing to pay a participation charge," Schneider says. "It's a strong decision on the off chance that you live in a suburb or some place remote since the site draws in clients from everywhere."

In the event that you're searching for a drawn out relationship, Match is known as a site for serious daters. The more inquiries you reply, the more designated your matches will be. The detail-rich site allows you to look through around the information base and look at individuals with comparative inclinations as yours. It likewise shows when individuals were last dynamic, so it's likelier to coordinate with somebody who was as of late on the web. Reward: As a paid client, you can see who's looking at your profile.

#5.Best for meetups and hookups: Tinder

Chances are you’ve already waded in the dating swamp known as Tinder. It’s the app that skyrocketed app-based dating into the mainstream with its infamous swipe left or swipe right model. Left=no, right=yes in case you’ve been boo-ed up during the Tinder era.

This app may get a bad rap for being more sex-focused, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You get the advantage of talking to the most people possible, but also the disadvantage of a larger than life dating pool, says Dr. Parks. “You’ve got to make sure you use this app with intention, and you’re not just sitting on your couch swiping with the TV on in the background.”

#6.Best for kink: Feeld

This one is for my kinky and non-monogamous peeps! This is another niche app but is useful if you are looking for people who are open to the same sort of sex and connections you are.

This is a great way to try ethical non-monogamy, says Parks. “Newcomers might find a person or two to hook up with or indulge in a friendship with.” Then they can learn about their proclivities with someone perhaps a bit more experienced and non-judgemental. “It can be a bit of a support group,” says Parks.

#7.Best for women: Bumble

Bumble is basically Tinder for women... and on a timer. Bumble is a free dating app that requires women to message first. If the guy doesn't message back within 24 hours, he loses the potential dates. Because that's the one thing my love life was really missing: arbitrary time limits.

The timer is designed to encourage contact and some people really do appreciate that feature. But if you're someone who procrastinates, Bumble may not be for you. Because women must message first, Bumble tends to weed out the more insecure males from the dating pool. However, the rate of overly confident men tends to be higher than I've seen on other apps. Bumble also has a BFF feature to help you meet new people, but that's really not our focus, so I'll save it for another time.

#8.Best for professionals: The League

is an "elite dating app" that requires you to apply -- and supply your job title, college and LinkedIn profile. Big cities tend to have long waiting lists, so you might find yourself twiddling your thumbs as your application to be one of the elite singles on the app is reviewed. (Of course, you can pay to expedite the process.) The exclusivity can be a draw for some and a turnoff for others, but I'll let you in on a secret: I've seen most of the profiles I come across on The League on other dating apps, too. So at the end of the day, you'll probably see the same faces for potential dates on Tinder, if you aren't deemed elite enough for The League.

#9.Best for busy daters: Coffee Meets Bagel

Coffee Meets Bagel hopes to offer people better-quality matches by sending curated daily matches, or "bagels," each day at noon. They suggest ice-breakers for first messages and the profiles are more in-depth than Tinder. For people who like a little extra hand-holding, CMB isn't the worst option. However, I found the app confusing to use, with too many features and a lot of gimmicks. I shouldn't have to look up online tutorials to figure out how to use a dating app. Plus why call matches Bagels?

I was also disappointed in the notifications, which I found too pushy. CMB was constantly "gently" reminding me to message people I'd matched with. I eventually disabled the app after receiving the following notification: "Show [match name] who's boss and break the ice today!" Should a potential future relationship be rooted in a hierarchical power dynamic? At the end of the day, I have friends who've had the perfect match on CMB, but it isn't one of my favorite online dating apps.

#10.Best for meeting up right away: Clover

tried to be the on-demand version of online dating sites, letting you order a date much like you would a pizza. It also provides numeric match predictions based on compatibility and interests, though it isn't entirely clear how those numbers are calculated.

I was on Clover for quite some time, but had since forgotten it existed until I started to compile this list. It strikes me as a less-successful hybrid of Ok-Cupid and Tinder with a relatively small user base, even though I live in an urban area with plenty of people who use a wide variety of dating apps. Clover says it has nearly 6 million users, 85% of whom are between the ages of 18 and 30.
