Being vulnerable, open, and risking rejection come with a price when putting yourself out there. Today, that price can be substantial.
Beyond just the cost of drinks and dinner, you may have already invested hundreds of pounds in a dating site to secure a date before even starting the awkward dance of who foots the bill.
How much does the app cost?
While some dating services are free, many now offer attractive add-ons for a small fee to help you find more compatible connections, get noticed faster, and get more dates. We’ve looked into what the main ones offer.
