Dating apps should make dating as fun as possible, so check out these three options you might not have heard of before.<\/p>\n<h2>3 interesting dating apps you might not have heard of<\/h2>\n<h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/site.coffeemeetsbagel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coffee Meets Bagel<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Coffee Meets Bagel is more of a serious dating app than a &#8220;hookup&#8221; app. On Coffee Meets Bagel, your profile is fully fleshed out. Instead of just a few pictures and a short bio, you create a more in-depth\u00a0profile. In addition, instead of endlessly swiping through potential matches, you&#8217;re sent potential matches, or &#8220;Bagels,&#8221; every day at noon. The curated matches are based on incredibly nuanced details and essentially friends of friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Men receive pre-selected matches based on a careful algorithm, and women are only sent &#8220;Bagels&#8221; that have already expressed interest. Keeping it progressive,\u00a0LGBTQ members are sent both male and female pre-selected matches. Once you connect, the app even provides a few icebreaker questions! So if you&#8217;re interested in finding a true connection with someone, Coffee Meets Bagel is a fun way to find your match!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"CMB Free Dating App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-l,f_auto,dpr_auto\/p\/6840593e-e47a-11e6-a93c-7778e51c3627\/3788250451\/cmb-free-dating-app-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">CMB Free Dating App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/cmb-free-dating-app.en.softonic.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free Download \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--70\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"70\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"7\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">7<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/cmb-free-dating-app.en.softonic.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.couplerapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coupler<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Coupler has a catch: the people who use it are already in relationships. But hold up, it&#8217;s not what you think! Coupler is a different kind of dating app \u2014 instead of pairing up potential romantic partners, it connects couples with other couples based on similar interests. So if you love double-dating, or you and your partner just want to make some new friends, Coupler might be worth a try!<\/p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/tastebuds.fm\/\">Tastebuds<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Are\u00a0you a music lover looking to find a love connection? Tastebuds is a new dating app that uses your taste in music to set you up with potential partners, or simply make new friends should it not work out. Although most of the questions on your profile are centered around music, there are also a few personal\u00a0questions so that you can get to know people. One unique aspect of this dating app is that you can include clips of songs that you like in your profile.\u00a0Instead of sending a message to start the conversation, why not send a song?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Tastebuds - Music Chat and Dating\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-l,f_auto,dpr_auto\/p\/c73190f1-4bf6-47d9-947d-b380dd50e01c\/3829565639\/tastebuds-music-chat-and-dating-icon.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Tastebuds - Music Chat and Dating<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/tastebuds-music-chat-and-dating.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Free \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--70\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"70\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"7\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">7<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/tastebuds-music-chat-and-dating.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>If you&#8217;re sick of the standard dating apps, you might as well give these unique\u00a0dating apps a try.
