Top 10 Dating Apps in Taiwan for 2026 | Editor's Personal Experience - Read This if You Want to Find a Partner!

Your self-introduction is your "friendship resume," and many people leave it blank because they don't know what to write, which greatly reduces your matching rate. A good self-introduction doesn't need to be lengthy, but it should have "memorable points" and a "call to action." Below are three different styles of templates for your reference (you can add or remove them flexibly).

1. Interest-based list format (suitable for most people)

example:
Taipei | 178cm | Engineer, ramen fanatic, goal is to eat at all the top 10 ramen restaurants in Taipei (current progress 7/10)
I like to go to the movies on weekends; I just finished watching "Sunshine Girls Choir" recently.
I travel abroad at least once a year, and my next destination is Japan. If you also love food or travel, feel free to recommend your must-see list!

2. MBTI Personality Type (Preferred by younger demographics)

example:
My ENFP campaign friends all say I'm the atmosphere-maker, but I also enjoy reading alone.
I enjoy photography, listening to music, and I don't post announcements here often. I hope to find like-minded people to explore alleyway cafes together.
Swipe right and tell me what song you've been playing on repeat lately!

3. The self-deprecating humor type (demonstrating approachability)

example:
Although I can't do backflips, I'm very good at flipping omelets. I work out so I can eat more delicious food.
I'm not afraid of cockroaches, but I'm afraid of awkward situations, so I would be very grateful if you would be willing to start a conversation!
Looking for a partner to go to the night market and grab some fried chicken together.

Always getting read messages in chats? 5 common chat pitfalls on dating apps

Successfully matching is only the first step; the key is how to keep the conversation going. Based on the painful experiences of Dcard and PTT users, the following 5 behaviors should absolutely be avoided:

Landmine 1: Only asks "What are you doing?"

This is one of the most offensive opening lines. Unless the other person is extremely fond of you, it sounds boring and intrusive. Suggested solution: Share what you're doing at the moment, then ask the other person a question, such as, "Just finished watching this amazing show, have you seen it?"

Landmine 2: Questions about personal wealth

"Where do you live?" "What do you do for work?" "How much do you earn?" "Do you have a car?" A series of closed-ended questions can turn a casual conversation into an interview, creating immense pressure. Suggested solution: Start with shared interests, for example, "Your photos show you've been surfing; did you go to Wushi Harbor in Yilan?"

Landmine 3: Excessive negativity or low self-esteem

Emphasizing "I'm ugly," "Nobody wants me," or "I'm difficult" in self-introductions or conversations can make the other person feel burdened and unsure how to respond. Confidence (even if feigned) is always more attractive than inferiority.

Landmine 4: Making lewd jokes or being overly greasy

Unless the two parties have already established a deep understanding or are on a specific type of software, starting with "darling" or "wife" or telling dirty jokes will usually result in being blocked and reported.

Landmine 5: Lengthy and unfocused statements

This isn't writing an essay; the other person might be chatting with several people at the same time. Try to keep your messages to 3-4 lines or less, maintain the rhythm of the conversation, and don't monologue your entire life story and grand principles.

Be vigilant when making friends online. The following are common scam characteristics for 2025-2026; please block them immediately if you encounter any:

• Pig Butchering : This scam involves building a relationship through long-term, warm conversations, then claiming to offer "guaranteed profit" investment opportunities (cryptocurrency, gambling websites) to lure you into investing money (and then taking your money).
• Eager to switch to Line/WhatsApp : After only a few words exchanged, they rush to leave the platform to add a private messaging app, usually to circumvent official monitoring.
• Refusing video calls or meetings : If the photos are of handsome men and beautiful women, but they always refuse to video call with reasons such as "my camera is broken," "I'm working out of town," or "my family is strict," then 99% of the time the photos are fake or stolen.
• Using false identities : Claiming to be a "military medic stationed abroad," a "United Nations official," or a "battlefield engineer" is a typical transnational scam.

1. Omi - A dating app suitable for cultivating long-term relationships

Established: 2020

---

Online user reviews: It focuses on personalized recommendations, and users feel that its matching algorithm is accurate, making it particularly suitable for finding long-term relationships. However, some users think that the matching speed is relatively slow.

---

Paid plans: Premium members enjoy features such as unlimited likes, seeing who likes you, and a free monthly Crush.

---

iOS rating: 4.4 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 4.2 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Friendship type: Long-term relationship, stable interaction

---

Omi's key features: Besides the classic swipe-to-match function, Omi's most powerful feature is its strict photo verification mechanism, which reduces many "photo fraud" issues. Furthermore, the "Love Bell" function allows for random calls based on zodiac sign and interests, giving users who value inner qualities more opportunities to meet their soulmate.

My experience using dating apps:

I could swipe to meet up with quite a few people every day, but it got tiring after a while, so I tried a new method: I swiped for every girl to increase my chances of a match. This method really worked. Two weeks later, I successfully matched with a girl and asked her out. On the day we met, she suggested we go to a nightclub. Since I was driving, I could only listen to her pour out her heart while she was drinking. Afterwards, we went for a walk in a nearby park. Perhaps because of the alcohol, she kept asking me to be her boyfriend, and she was so proactive that I was a little overwhelmed. In the end, I drove her home, ending this special dating experience.

2. Tinder - The dating app with the most matchmaking opportunities

Established: 2012

---

Online user reviews: With the largest global user base, you're guaranteed to find someone. User opinions are polarized; some think there are many opportunities and attractive people, while others believe there are many scams and that the content is primarily for casual sex, requiring time to filter.

---

Paid plans: Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, and Tinder Platinum, offering features such as unlimited swiping, awesome functions, and the ability to see who likes you.

---

iOS rating: 4.0 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.9 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Dating types: Short-term dating, long-term relationship

---

Tinder Features Analysis: The originator of the "swipe left, swipe right" interface, offering the most intuitive operation. Tinder's strength lies in its "breadth," allowing you to meet foreigners, travelers, or people from completely different social circles. Photos are key; high-quality lifestyle photos are recommended. Be extremely cautious, as the large user base also means a higher incidence of investment scams.

My experience using dating apps:

This dating app is quite similar to Omi, but I feel that the men and women using Tinder are slightly more attractive, and the success rate of matching is relatively lower. Therefore, it took me about a month and a half to successfully arrange a date with a girl. This time, I went on a date with a girl majoring in cultural studies. We decided to go to an art museum together. Although she is a cultural studies student, she has a very lively personality and has a lot of opinions on the exhibitions. She also actively introduced some works to me, which I found very interesting. Finally, we went to dinner together, ending this pleasant date.

3. Meet Sugar — Find your sweetheart darling

Established: 2024

---

Online user reviews: "Meet Sweetheart" is characterized by sincerity and efficiency, with a particular emphasis on building trust between users. It offers a dynamic sharing platform for posting updates, a feature to search for potential partners, and ensures that all users have real accounts, reducing the risk of fake accounts and scams.

---

Paid Options: Upgrade to VIP or Diamond status via payment or subscription. This grants unlimited chat partners, priority match recommendations, and increased exposure, improving your chances of finding your ideal match.

---

iOS rating: None ( View official website ) | Android rating: None ( View official website )

---

Friendship types: long-term relationships, sweet companionship, short-term interactions.

---

Meet Sugar Features Analysis: Meet Sugar is a platform for making friends and getting to know people. It has multiple interactive systems such as chatting, greeting, dynamic posts, searching, and signing in to receive points rewards. It is quite suitable for people who want to find a high-quality dating experience. Almost all users are sincere and have clear conditions. It is especially suitable for people who expect genuine interaction. Of course, you can also use the payment method to increase the success rate of making friends. It is a dating option that combines quality and safety.

My experience using dating apps:

"Meet Your Sweetheart" is free to register and use. After verifying your phone number, you can proactively chat with your desired partner – it's very secure and reliable. Once you upgrade to level 3, you can use the greeting function. I log in daily to receive rewards, and my personal points gradually increase. Reaching 50 points allows you to advance to the next level, and you can reach level 3 in just 3 days – it's very simple, convenient, and easy to use. Moreover, you can post articles and see other users' updates and recent online times immediately after registration, which is a great feature. Everyone's profile picture is clearly displayed, and they generally have high looks and good figures; you can view them without unlocking. On my first day of registration, many people viewed my profile and clicked "like," so it's a platform where it's easy to meet people, match easily, and everyone is very proactive. I personally think it's quite good and recommend it to anyone seriously looking for a partner!

4. SOGA - Ideal Matching Tool

Established in: 2023

---

Online user reviews: Users consider SOGA a "high-quality" dating app, highlighting its matchmaking mechanism that allows users to "precisely specify their ideal type," and its strict photo screening and real-person verification. Some users mentioned that SOGA has many serious conversations and allows users to set filtering criteria, making it suitable for those who don't want to chat with too many people at once or are looking for a long-term relationship.

---

Paid Options: Upgrade to VIP & VVIP to increase the number of daily chat contacts, chat before being matched to improve your chances of finding a match, and increase your exposure to improve your chances of finding your ideal partner.

---

iOS rating: 4.7 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 4.6 ( Download app )

---

Dating type: A high-quality dating app that features a matching mechanism that allows users to accurately specify their ideal type, suitable for finding long-term or serious partners.

---

SOGA Feature Analysis: SOGA's biggest feature is its unique ideal-type matching mechanism. It goes beyond superficial screening, delving deeper into users' appearance, personality, lifestyle habits, and even views on relationships, allowing users to directly set criteria for precise matching. Furthermore, to improve efficiency, the app's built-in AI assistant, "Goose," proactively recommends highly compatible potential partners to increase the success rate. Strict photo verification ensures user authenticity, effectively preventing image theft and fraud, making the dating experience more secure.

My experience using dating apps:

What's special about SOGA is that it asks you to fill in your preferred criteria at the beginning, and it's quite easy to find girls you like on it later (although seeing them doesn't necessarily mean you'll be matched, haha). But it's better than scrolling for ages without finding anyone you like. This time, I spent two weeks and managed to meet a girl. Since he usually films short videos about restaurants, we went to a pasta restaurant he wanted to film at, and that was the end of our first trip. I have to say, filming short videos is really not easy. A one-minute restaurant review video took almost two hours to film. Overall, it was a unique experience.

5. Tantan - China's most used dating app

Established: 2014

---

Online user reviews: A popular dating app in the Chinese market, similar to Tinder's swipe function, users find it suitable for relaxed social interaction, but there are also reports of fake accounts.

---

Paid Plan: VIP offers more exposure and the ability to see who likes you.

---

iOS rating: 4.3 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.6 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Friendship type: Casual social networking, dating

---

Tantan's Features Analysis: Tantan, a dating app often called the "Eastern version of Tinder," shares a similar operation mode and functions with Tinder. However, it adds some clever touches, such as the interest selection field, which includes six categories: sports, music, food, movies, books, and travel. If none of these categories perfectly match your characteristics, you can also customize your own tags—super personalized! Tantan's users are mostly young people. Through its distance matching mechanism, it focuses on quick matching and easy social interaction, making interactions simpler and more fun.

My experience using dating apps:

The women who use the dating app Tantan are generally younger, and compared to the previous two platforms, there seem to be more virtual accounts. However, after a month of effort, I still managed to successfully date an 18-year-old girl! On our date, we first went to a trendy cafe in Qinmei to take photos and have afternoon tea. In the evening, we went to Showtime to watch a movie and have dinner. Finally, I took her back to her apartment, and the pleasant date ended smoothly!

6. Pikabu Shiba Inu - An interactive social networking app that emphasizes inner qualities.

Established: 2016

---

Online user reviews: Pikabu's voice chat function is very interesting and has a strong sense of realism, but the number of pairs is limited, and some features require payment to experience fully.

---

Paid options: Purchase virtual gifts and VIP features.

---

iOS rating: 4.0 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.8 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Dating types: Interest-based social networking, voice chat

---

Pikabu Shiba Inu Features: This is a dating app characterized by its "inner-oriented" approach. Photos are initially blurred, and users must first rate each other's profiles (1-5 points). Only when both parties accumulate a score of over 7 points can they enter the chat room. If the wait is too long, users can purchase VIP to directly view profile pictures. The platform encourages users to explore the charm of words rather than just appearances, discovering more unique and insightful friends. The platform also incorporates anime topics and interactive games, making it particularly attractive to young users and subculture enthusiasts!

My experience using dating apps:

Pikabu is a dating app that emphasizes "inner communication." Initially, both parties' photos are blurred, so you can't see each other's faces. It's pretty good if you just want to chat, and matching is relatively easy. However, it's a bit difficult to find someone you really click with. This time, it took me two whole months to finally get a date with a girl. She was a senior at XX University of Science and Technology. She invited me to dinner in a shopping area near her school. Afterward, we went for a walk and chatted while enjoying the night view in the back mountain. In the end, I took her back to her place, which ended our date.

7. Goodnight - A dating app exclusively for voice lovers

Established: 2015

---

Online user reviews: Primarily a voice-based social networking platform, many users consider it a relaxing social platform suitable for anonymous chatting. However, some users have reported excessive advertising.

---

Paid Plan: VIP members receive more matchmaking opportunities and ad removal.

---

iOS rating: 4.2 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.7 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Dating types: Voice chat, anonymous chat

---

Goodnight Features Analysis: Goodnight is a voice-based dating app where users can have a 7-minute voice conversation with a randomly selected person without knowing their appearance. If the conversation goes well, users can choose to continue. Compared to traditional text chat, voice interaction allows users to quickly get a feel for the other person's speech and atmosphere, making it easier to determine if they get along. It is especially suitable for people who don't want to show their face, are good at chatting, and aren't afraid of awkward silences. Friends who are confident in their voice should definitely give it a try.

My experience using dating apps:

Goodnight is suitable for people who enjoy multi-person voice chat and aren't afraid of awkward silences. I used it a few years ago, and the experience was really good back then. But when I went back to use it recently, it felt quite different. Almost every feature requires payment, and a while ago I couldn't even log in. Customer service response was also a bit slow. Overall, the experience wasn't as good as before. After using it for a while, I felt that this platform was more suitable for friends who simply wanted to find someone to chat with and kill time. As for arranging to go out, it wasn't so easy, so I stopped using it.

8. Paktor - The best dating app for video chat enthusiasts

Established in: 2013

---

Online user reviews: A popular dating app in Southeast Asia, emphasizing voice and video features. Users say it's highly interactive, but needs more active users.

---

Paid Plan: VIP members receive more matchmaking opportunities and interactive features.

---

iOS rating: 4.1 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.9 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Friendship type: Dating, casual socializing

---

Paktor's unique features include a focus on privacy and a zero-harassment experience. Registration requires linking at least 50 friends' Facebook accounts, effectively filtering out fake accounts and creating a safer user environment. Paktor also offers voice and video chat rooms for more instant interaction, helping users quickly connect.

My experience using dating apps:

While using this dating app, I felt that users were generally in a hurry. Almost as soon as they were matched, they would ask if they wanted to video chat. I have watched too many anti-fraud videos in recent years, so I am a bit wary of this kind of thing. Therefore, I chose not to video chat. Asking for video chat on the first day was a bit too fast. Overall, I feel that it is not very suitable for me.

9. SweetRing - A dating app with marriage as the goal.

Established: 2015

Online user reviews: This site focuses on users seeking marriage and long-term relationships. Users report high-quality members, but the matching process is relatively slow.

---

Paid Plan: VIP members enjoy unlimited chat and more matchmaking opportunities.

---

iOS rating: 4.3 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.8 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Dating type: Romantic, long-term relationship

---

SweetRing Features Analysis: SweetRing is a dating app designed specifically for users seeking marriage partners, especially suitable for users who are serious about building long-term relationships. One of its features is its strict "real person verification function," so you don't have to worry about being matched with fake official bots or fake accounts. SweetRing's verification mechanism can effectively filter out bad users, creating a safe environment for genuine dating.

My experience using dating apps:

Like Pairs, this dating app is marriage-oriented. The female user base is slightly older, mostly around 40 years old. While some users may list a younger age, the reality might differ from the description. For younger users like myself, the age range of matched partners might seem wider. However, the matching efficiency is quite high; it just depends on whether there's a suitable match within your preferred age group.

10. JD (JustDating) - Claimed to be the fastest dating app

Established in: 1997

---

Online user reviews: This dating platform targets the Jewish community and is suitable for finding marriage partners. Users report that the platform is highly secure, but the user base is relatively small.

---

Paid Plan: Premium members enjoy more interactive and referral features.

---

iOS rating: 4.0 / 5 ( Download app ) | Android rating: 3.5 / 5 ( Download app )

---

Friendship types: Dating and marriage, religious communities only

---

JD Features Analysis: A simple and intuitive dating app, most notably featuring a "Dynamic Wall," a function similar to Instagram, providing a space for sharing snippets of life. Users can post updates, interact with others, and get to know each other better.

My experience using dating apps:

In my opinion, this is a dating app primarily focused on casual sex. The user experience was poor. When you first register an account, many girls will contact you, but most of them are fraudulent accounts generated by the system. The platform offers a unique dating feature, where 100 to 400 guys will usually send invitations to a date organized by a girl, and the girl can only choose one. I used it for a while and wasn't selected. It might be more suitable for those who are patient and willing to try more.
