    You’re not going to find an app that doesn’t use analytics. It’s unreasonable to expect someone to build / run a service for users with no idea how it’s actually functioning for them. To any app using Google Analytics, you are only one of hundreds of thousands of anonymous data points; get over yourself or buy a burner phone if you’re that concerned about some upstream data broker knowing that ::gasp, shudder, horror:: you were on a dating app and ::shriek, cower, cry:: maybe targeting a romance-related ad to you.

    If you can get past that, I’d suggest https://datefirefly.com/ - it’s independent and trying to rebuild the old OkCupid kind of experience before Match Group bought OkC and drove it into the ground.

    Or if you’re in / near a city, try speed dating groups or see if there are matchmaking services with a good reputation.
