These days, there are more dating apps on the market than there are steps in your skin care routine. And while it's likely you'll be ready to download a few after a global pandemic, you might not want to jump into a long text message conversation about your favorite color and where you've been to. university.
Plain and simple, one connection can be all you are looking for. Specifically with someone who is already on the same page as you and who is also vaccinated, because, by the CDC, it is officially clear for vaccinated people to come into contact with other vaccinated people.
Lucky for you, there are tons of dating apps that are exclusively for dating. Whether you're looking for a post-vaccine pipe cleanse or just want to get back to the dating scene, these apps favor short, casual hookups and probably won't ask you if you want to have kids someday.
But an important note: When using smaller, more specialized dating apps, the pool of potential dates isn't as robust. So in the name of maximizing your options, we've added a few ways to use “relationship” dating apps to find an overnight situation. Think of it as a login hack, from our phones to yours.
Here are the 13 best dating apps to hit it and leave it - post quarantine edition.
1. Badoo
Badou
Badoo is like the older cousin of Tinder's Virgo who doesn't have time to waste time. The app is a classic scan and match interface, but lets you specify the type of connections you're looking for and find identical dates. It also gives you someone's stats (height, star sign, relationship status, pets, alcohol consumption, etc.) without asking for any serious prompts or icebreakers.
You search for dates by gender, age and distance. There is an "Instant Connect" page where you can see singles in your area and send them an unmatched message. It also shows you the people who liked you. You can message and video chat in the app, so you can check someone's mood without boosting numbers. The basic version is free and includes everything mentioned above, but to give you a "boost" - meaning appearing higher on people's radar - the app runs on a credit, where you buy credits and then use them in the app. These range from $ 4 to $ 33, although the App Store says the prices for credits are subject to change without notice.

2. Juicy shots
juicy hookups
The first question asked by the app is whether you are a man, woman or couple looking for a man, woman or couple, so this is the tone. (There's no pronoun sharing here, folks.) Plus, the color scheme is literally black, white, and hot pink - and I mean it's all black, white, and hot pink.
This app is pretty discreet in that it asks for a username so you don't even have to share your real name. It also allows you to be more specific about the type of connection you're looking for with options like "Dirty Flirting", "Friends With Benefits" and "Naughty Fun". The free version has a "Yay Or Nay" section that allows you to swipe, match and message, but there is also a "VIP Upgrade" for $ 28 per month that lets you see who likes you, video chat in the app and send an unlimited number of "flirts" or "likes" to others on the app.

3. Shhh
Hush
As the name suggests, shush is all about keeping things low. You get a username and the app has built-in photo filters, much like Snapchat, with dog masks and tongues to disguise your photos a bit. When registering, you can check if you are looking for dating, dating, fun or just chat. The app tells you about someone's relationship status, sexuality, and life situation, which means you'll know if you need to chat with their roommates before you leave.
It also allows you to post "stories" or images separate from your profile photos to give potential dates even more information about what you're doing. The free version lets you browse limited posts, but for unlimited posts, you'll need to get the premium version for $ 9,50 per week or $ 25 per month.

Happen
First and foremost, this app uses your first and last name so if you're trying to stay more anonymous this isn't the one for you.

When you register, you specify that you are looking for either "fun", "the date" or "long term". You also select the age range you are looking for and some life interests like cooking, nightlife or movies.
On the free app, not only can you chat with people around you, but you can also search for people by interests. Another bonus: you can see who likes you and visit your page. For the "Pro" version which costs $ 30 per month or $ 70 for 6 months, you can search with more filters like size, body type etc., have rewind function and chat with people before you even match them.
