Dating apps in Dallas after 40

Most Dallas singles over 40 have tried the big apps. Many say the same thing: lots of matches, few people who want the same future. Here is what to look for in a dating app after 40, and a different way to start.

Why swiping wears people out

• Too many choices make every match feel thin.
• Photos say little about who will stay.
• Many people on the apps are not looking for marriage.

What to look for after 40

• Questions about marriage, kids and faith up front.
• Fewer matches, ranked by fit, not by looks.
• A clear free start, so you can try before you pay.
