8 Lesbian Dating Apps (That Don't Suck) for Queer Women & Non-Binary People
As a lesbian or non-binary person, dating can be tough out there: Whether you're in a place where there are little to no LGBTQIA+ spaces, are having a hard time meeting other queer women IRL or are just shy, finding your person can be a challenge. Cue lesbian dating apps.
Technology can be a useful way to find love! To help you find the one to U-Haul with or take on the most romantic, 24-hour first date of your life, we've compiled the best lesbian dating apps to try out below.
In this article:
1. Lex
If it's queer, it's here. Lex is an app that is meant to help you connect with other LGBTQIA+ folks in your community, find events nearby and develop friendships, romance and more. Plus, if you're on the shy side, the app is text-based, so you can chat before it up with anyone who is queer, trans, gender non-conforming and non-binary, safely. They also have a zero-hate and creep policy, so you can use it and feel truly welcomed.
Cost: Free
2. HER
Probably the most well-known sapphic dating app, HER is here to bring all lesbian lovers together (as well as queer, trans, gender non-conforming and non-binary folks, too). Made for queers by queers, the LGBTQIA+ dating app exists to help you find your people, fall head over heels and love deeply. Part dating app, part social media platform, find your queer crew here.
Cost: Free
3. Lesly
Lesly is a free lesbian dating app made for queer women and bisexuals, too. Whether you're looking to find true love, something casual or new friends in the LGBTQIA+ community, Lesly's swipe feature allows you to match based on a short bio and photos—kind of like Tinder (but make it gay!).
Cost: Free
4. PinkCupid
This is maybe one of the oldest, best dating apps for queer women. Founded in 2006, PinkCupid is part of a network of more than 30 other dating sites, so that anyone can cast a wide net. Looking for love? Or just something casual? There is something for everyone with this lesbian dating app.
Cost: Free
5. Feeld
With a fresh new rebrand, Feeld is better than ever. This dating app is truly inclusive, servicing folks who are trans, queer, heterosexual, ethically non-monogamous and more. If you're looking for a unique situation (or just to find lasting love), Feeld is where it's at. It has unique features, like being able to include your partner on your profile and the ability to 'ping' someone to show you're extra interested in them.
Cost: Free to download, optional in-app purchases
6. OkCupid
While OkCupid isn't strictly in the category of dating apps for lesbians, it is very queer-friendly. In recent years, the app has added a ton of functions specifically for lesbians, non-binary folks and other queer people, like gender identity tags, sexual orientation options and more. It's more inclusive than ever before and, unlike other popular dating apps, they've recognized the need to cater to the LGBTQ+ community.
Cost: Free
7. Bounce
Another one that isn't strictly an LGBT dating app but is still inclusive and welcoming, Bounce is open to anyone to use. What's different about it, versus other dating apps, is that you can 'check-in' when you're looking to go on a date and it will match you with singles in your area. That way, you only get matched when you feel up to the dating life (instead of being bombarded with messages when you're not). It'll even match you with a cute date spot, nearby.
Cost: Free to download, with optional in-app purchases
8. Fem
This one is for all the TikTok fans out there: It allows you to use videos and photos to showcase who you are. But if videos intimidate you, don't worry—they're not required. And despite the name, it isn't an app for femmes exclusively. It's for lesbians, alike! The only downside? It's only available for Android users. But if that's you, you might just meet your soul mate.
