Launched in 2009, Grindr was the first dating app to cater specifically to queer folx. Whether you're looking for hook ups, dates, or friendship, Grindr has the largest pool of gay, bi, trans and queer daters of all the queer-specific dating apps. In the end, there is no one-size-fits-all dating app. And look at this unfortunately, like dating itself, sometimes you won’t strike gold on your first download. But don’t give up! The right app, and ultimately the right relationship, could be just one click away. I was never good at dating. As a serial monogamist, I’ve “dated” a handful of people, and went on to marry my best match. I realize not everyone is so lucky, and dating is difficult. Plus, the world of online dating can be super overwhelming. Many dating apps tend to cater to a younger crowd (think Tinder), but there is a whole world of online dating for a more mature audience.
