Upward Dating: Meet Singles

Hey, so this is a pretty good app actually. It makes people stand out to me. Like they put in depth bios and knowledge or make their character stand out. The problem isn’t the people, it’s the like/match system. No, I can be wrong since this is my first time trying to use a dating app but, why does it cost a subscription to try to match with people that like you? Why are we forced to pay for the main component of the whole point of the dating; talking to a potential match? Like I understand if it’s for scam checks or stuff like that but that seems pretty weird to me or too much as I say. And like, I can’t even see who my matches are and I got to pay for that too with the matching system. So I’m not too sure if this could but I’m going to say this and maybe hopefully it can change. Instead of not seeing our matches, we instead can see them, we get to talk/text for an hour and then when the time is up, we can either keep talking/texting or just move on with our lives. But if we don’t get along or be compatible with each other, we can say no and move on early. But if it’s vice versa, then we can do that. But as I have stated, this is my only problem with the app is just the matching system and likes. But if that isn’t possible then oh well, I tried at least. Thank you for reading this if you did :)

I downloaded this app, matched with a few guys, and dated a guy I met on here for a month! Even though it didn’t end up working out, I was really impressed to meet such a godly man on a dating app!! As with any dating app, be cautious with profiles and meeting up (let other people know where you are even if you’re a hermit and don’t tell people where you’re usually going like me😂). But anyway, a friend told me I should give this app a rating so here I am! If you’re looking to put yourself out there and potentially meet someone who loves Jesus, this app could be for you! It didn’t work out for me, but hey, I am thankful to have known the guy for even a short while! We both were blessed by each other, but I knew I needed to end the pursuit of the relationship when I felt like God was not leading us together. With that, I leave a message to the ladies that I needed to hear too: BE HONEST. Tell the guy where you’re at, even if he seems like he’s head over heals for you and you’re not quite there. HOLD EACH OTHER WITH OPEN HANDS. Let the Lord lead you!!! SEEK THE LORD. Ask Him to show you His will regarding the guy in your life. If God directs away from him, don’t drag the guy on. Communicate, end well, and say farewell. Anyway, maybe someone needs to hear this advice and maybe someone just needs to hear part of it. Blessings on you as you hold your desire for a relationship before the Lord!!

I met the love of my life on this app June 2020 when it was formerly called FTH. I had tried Christian mingle, POF, Bumble, coffee meets bagel, and Facebook dating and this was by far my favorite app. I didn’t have as many matches but it was more quality. I liked how you had to mutually match and yes it took longer to match with people than other apps but I felt it was more intentional as you are less likely to to be tempted to go for someone who you know isn’t what your looking for just to have a match. I see now you can pay to subscribe to view who has liked you. I was on the app a few months before meeting my boyfriend. We matched and it took off instantly. We talked a month before meeting in person and that was it. February 8th will be 8 months together. The only issue I had at the time was distance locator. It did allow you to choose a range of preferred distance which was broad and then it said my boyfriend was 90 miles away.. try 125... lol but I am thankful it was wrong because had I known the real distance up front I probably wouldn’t have given him a chance. We make it work 2.5 hour drive is worth it and we are talking about relocating plans and moving forward towards possible engagement and marriage talk :) we are a success story. Also for the romantics out there.. it felt divine as the day we matched and he messaged me I actually had the app on pause because my father was passing away and the day he passed.. I got his message that night.. it somehow came through and I am so thankful for that.
