Apps mentioned below don't only give you a base to build serious relationships on but help in successful communication with your future lover without wasting time or money. Hopefully, after you read this article, the blindfold of prejudice toward dating apps will be off.

Tinder
.
The strength of Tinder’s game lies in simplicity. It doesn’t require a ton of time to understand how it works: the user’s interface consists of the photo of a potential date candidate and the short description of a person. If you are interested in a private conversation, you should swipe right and left if not. Easy as it is. What adds to its value more is that Tinder makes sure that at least one of your Facebook friends knows the individual you want to hook up with.

Happn

What Happn stands out for is its mind-blowing features. One of them is that when you pass by a person that has this app and is a great match for you, whenever and wherever it may happen, you get a notification (read green light). So don’t be a shoe! Next time you don’t start a conversation with a hot stranger on the street because you are too funky, install Happn as fast as you can. Don’t miss on your potential love, as there can be no another chance.

YourBrides

Another great free service that will work for you, if you are looking for an Eastern European wife. It’s a tempting prize for every man that has ever dreamt about dating a Ukrainian girl. Not only does it serves you a great variety of profiles of real Slavic bombshells, but YourBrides is also a site that calculates your compatibility with a woman and offers you results based on your individual preferences.

Clover
.
That one 'new kid' in a class that is actually intelligent and soon proves its worthiness to be loved by everyone. Clover is a freshman in the world of dating apps that took into regard all mishits of other services and created its own quintessence of interesting features. Quiz inside the app to improve the effectiveness of matching procedure, showing you people who have liked you and a possibility to upload up to 100 photos to your profile - now that's why every dating app should take Clover as an example.

OkCupid
.
An old-school dating app which methods stay pretty traditional to this day: create an account, browse through the accounts of other users, and message ones that have attracted you the most. Yes, that requires more time, but it does mean there is a kind of romantic nostalgia in apps like this. Moreover, people who choose quality over quantity have more serious intentions. Consequently, this app is great for those who want to build long-term relationships.
.
Hinge
.
Everyone knows Hinge, and, at one level with Tinder, its popularity is huge. Generally speaking, it’s a great app that can come in handy if you want to find a person to build a serious relationship with. It lacks in many modern features provided by other services mentioned, though. Regardless of that, Hinge's simplicity and straightforwardness are what it is loved and admired for. It’s designed to emphasize accurate matches using your Facebook friends list and friends of Facebook friends.
.
Zoosk
Its slogan says “#1 dating app.” That, of course, is a controversial claim, yet if Zoosk continues to grow in number and inventiveness, it has all chances to become such. One of its newest features is video verification of a profile photo. Basically, when you upload a photo to Zoosk, the app will ask you to record a video-selfie to prove that you still look the same, and it wasn’t taken 10 years earlier or when you were 20 pounds slimmer. No one loves being fooled by a fake perfect image that doesn’t coincide with the one in real life. So, another great choice for building serious relationships.
