Looking for love, lust, or something in between? Whether you’re newly out, fully seasoned, or just queer and curious, the dating app world truly has something for everyone these days.
From sapphic slow burns to spicy throuples, there’s no shortage of great queer dating sites out there.
Queer dating has come a long way from the days of coded ads and discreet meet-ups. Now, with more inclusive apps and smarter matchmaking, finding your person (or people) is easier than ever. We’ve tested and rated the best gay and bisexual dating apps of 2025, so you can skip the small talk and get straight to the good part. From fan favourites like Tinder and eHarmony to niche gems like HER and Feeld, there’s something here for every kind of connection.
I tested eight different dating apps to find the ultimate winner, and trust me, it was quite the ride. Along the way, I discovered the best options for non-conformist relationships, serious daters, and the simply curious. I also managed to snag a few IRL dates along the way. So, charge your phone and get ready to swipe your way to something special.
How we rated the best dating apps – and why trust us?
At Metro, we don’t just skim the surface; we get hands-on with every dating app we review. That means creating real profiles, filling out all the prompts, and seeing who (and what) actually shows up in your inbox. From messaging features and match quality to what’s behind those tempting premium fees, we test the full experience so you don’t have to waste any time when searching for your perfect match.
As a seasoned dating and relationships writer, Fleurine has had her fair share of bad dates—and a couple of good ones along the way. She’s done stints on all of the dating apps “in the name of research” and reported her findings and relationship observations for Glamour, Stylist, Betches, Dazed, Metro and HuffPost.
