Trying to settle any dating apps for 17 year olds that focus on prom or school events for myself and the reviews are useless. What I care about with dating apps for prom is the return on the hours more than anything else.

I have tried a few options across no-payment dating sites already and none of them stuck. For most people in this thread, the dating apps for prom experience lives or dies on actually getting anywhere and almost nothing else.

Concretely, for dating apps for prom:

  • Message within a day of matching — on dating apps for prom that window closes fast
  • Give dating apps for prom a fortnight of daily use before calling actually getting anywhere a dealbreaker
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the dating apps for prom pool near you is thin

Anyone with a recent any dating apps for 17 year olds that focus on prom or school events story, please jump in.

Where I differ from NathanW on dating apps for prom: not my read at all: for people who have actually tried it, dating apps for prom was the only thing that produced anything. I judge dating apps for prom by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

Most of the noise about dating apps for prom comes from people measuring the return on the hours over far too short a window. Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on dating apps for prom than the sheer time it ate. Not saying dating apps for prom suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

If you want a second data point on dating apps for prom, Datebie is the one I run alongside it.

Ian Palmer is right about one part of dating apps for prom: same experience on dating apps for prom: I gave it six weeks before the time it costs got tiresome.

If the time it costs is your main worry with dating apps for prom, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Seconding this, because on dating apps for prom the honest answer is that the hours-to-dates ratio varies enormously by area. If the hours-to-dates ratio is your main worry with dating apps for prom, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

You can work around the return on the hours on dating apps for prom, but you have to be deliberate about it. The thing people underrate about dating apps for prom is how much the payoff depends on your own city.

That has not been my experience of dating apps for prom, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread.

For most of us posting here, the dating apps for prom experience lives or dies on the hours-to-dates ratio and almost nothing else. The pattern I see with dating apps for prom is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go.

@RobbieQ makes a fair point about dating apps for prom, but that tracks with my dating apps for prom run, which was fine until the effort-to-result ratio became the whole experience.

The other one I would try before giving up on dating apps for prom is Datedesire.

I would argue the opposite on dating apps for prom: the hours-to-dates ratio is the one thing it handles better than free dating apps. The pattern I see with dating apps for prom is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

The pattern I see with dating apps for prom is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go. Either way, the return on the hours is the thing I would test first on dating apps for prom.

Broadly agree on dating apps for prom — the hours-to-dates ratio was what decided it for me too. There is no version of dating apps for prom where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something.

I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across the free-tier sites, and dating apps for prom sits mid-table. I judge dating apps for prom by one thing now: whether the payoff improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.
