Though dating as a trend is generally still frowned upon in India, we must accept that it is here to stay and will only grow in the coming years. Thanks to apps like Tinder, finding someone who might just turn out to be your soulmate, isn’t all that difficult now. Though Tinder still tops the market, there are other dating apps for India which would probably be more suitable. Thanks to a lot of negative reviews and some horrific experiences around Tinder, it wouldn’t hurt to switch to something else for your dating life.
So, in case you’re single and ready to mingle and are on the lookout for dating opportunities, try these new, popular and trending dating apps which seem to be tailor-made for the Indian (single) youth.
Bumble
This location based app helps interested users communicate with each other to socialize and date. The best part about this app is that it enables only the female users to make the first contact, if matched. However, this is applicable only for heterosexual matches. For same-sex matches, either person can send the message first.

Woo
In terms of privacy of women, this date is among the best as it enables voice calls without sharing the numbers. The app never shares name, number or location of women.
