Before one of my lesbian friends met her now-girlfriend, she used gay dating sites and apps for women, and she’d always share her experiences with me — both good and bad. Sometimes she’d chat with a cute gal all night, and other times she’d find her matches were men, couples, or bi-curious women who weren’t serious about being in a lesbian relationship.
Millions of lesbians out there are in the same boat and having difficulty meeting viable local dates. That’s why we’ve written this article to highlight the six premier dating sites and apps where gay women can find each other. (Psst, they’re also free.)
1. Match
With one of the most diverse user bases of any dating site, Match is our top choice for single lesbians. Match has had over 42 million signups since it launched in 1995, and today the site gets over 39 million monthly visitors. Honestly, you’ll probably never run out of potential dates here. Oh, and did we mention Match is free to join, browse, and flirt? So even if you decide the site isn’t for you, you didn’t have to spend any money to find that out.

Single Gay Woman Finally Have Dating Sites to Call Their Own
If my friend were single and online dating now, I’d let her know that she doesn’t have to put up with mediocre dating sites or apps. She, along with every other lesbian out there, has plenty of sites to choose from that allow her to identify as herself and that won’t send her male matches. We’ve given you six to get started, but let us know in the comments which ones have worked for you.
We recommend trying multiple dating sites to up your odds of meeting that special someone and starting a relationship that goes beyond the online world. Good luck!
