One of the easiest ways to find out if someone is on dating sites or apps is to use the tools available on the internet, specifically dedicated to that purpose.

– Worldwide (requires payment) – Worldwide (free/doesn’t require payment) – Most countries in the world (require payment) (Tinder only) – Worldwide (requires payment)

By using these tools (Prefered SocialCatfish as its more accurate), most of which are free, you can find dating profiles by email, or you can find dating profiles by phone number, that of course, besides name with/without last name, nickname.

Now using these takes time, some even money, but since you’re not satisfied enough with the ‘genuine conversation’ I guess you’ll take it.

I recommendUsersearch is free (though it has options for which you have to pay), and shows you most of the results you’re looking for. It has got options for which you want to search plenty of dating sites at once (example: Username Search Dating Sites, Search Email, Social Networks, etc).It is one of the ways to find out if someone has a dating profile for free, and I thought of sharing my thoughts on it with you.This is not sponsored by usersearch, I am sharing this through personal experience.

4. Using your dating profile if you have one/opening a dating profile if you don’t have one

Another way to check if someone is on dating sites is by using a dating profile on dating apps or sites.

If you’ve got a dating profile, and you’re wanting to see if your partner or whoever that ‘someone’ is that you’re looking for, has a dating profile too, then you’ve got to set the preferences.

– Most dating apps/sites show you people based on your preferences, but they also show you to other people based on their preferences. To put it simply, if you match each other’s preferences, your profiles will appear on each other’s feeds.

This is due to the dating apps’/sites’ algorithm. A dating app’s/site’s algorithm is a calculation of a computer that works on whether the users of the app are compatible with one another or not.

Also, pay attention to the location, since most dating apps show you the nearest, and if the person you’re looking for lives in another country, then chances are you’re not going to be shown to one another.

Don’t forgetYour partner (or whoever you’re looking to find) can make a fake dating profile to not be discovered, if, of course, they intend to hide the fact that they’ve got a dating profile.That will be hard to find their profile by using free username search dating sites.Now, there are ways through which you can tell if a dating profile is fake (e.g. a fake tinder profile), one of which is reverse searching their profile picture/s(our article’s focus stands on Tinder).

5. Find someone on dating sites by email – “This email/phone has been already registered

I’ve checked Tinder, Bumble, eHarmony, OkCupid, Badoo, pof if it’d work to put in the email on the registration part to see if I’d get a “This email is already used” or anything similar, and apparently, eHarmony is the only one to be working that way.

Though it doesn’t say exactly that the email is ‘taken’, it just says there’s something not valid. To prove it:

Now, before you go on and see if this works on other dating apps/sites, test out any other email, because it could cause you trouble. And do NOT use your email, since you’ll look like the one who’s trying to cheat. You’ll get the emails, even if they’re blank. So, test it out before you go for it.
