Members on dating in Toronto

“I was on three paid apps before this. In Toronto the difference was not the member count, it was being able to answer someone in Toronto without upgrading first.”

— LocalGirl57, RuneDate member

“Started slow in Toronto — one message a day, nothing pushy. Better results than the shotgun approach I used before I moved to Toronto.”

— LocalGirl55, RuneDate member

“Honestly Toronto is not a hard place to date, it is a hard place to write a good opener. Once I asked real questions about Toronto, it changed.”
