Alongside EzHookups, most people in Ottawa also try the free tiers on OkCupid, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Facebook Dating. Our guides compare what each one actually allows before you pay:
Put up a recent photo that actually shows your face, then write a real bio, and then send a short, specific first message rather than a one-word greeting.
You can search Ottawa, open a profile and send a message without paying, and messaging is not rationed by a daily like limit.
Private messages between Ottawa members are visible only to sender and recipient, and you can block or report from inside the conversation at any point.
Allow location access, or type Ottawa in manually, then set your radius, and you will see Ottawa first, then nearby places in Canada.
Member numbers in Ottawa move with the time of day more than most people expect, and if Ottawa looks quiet, widen the radius across Canada before drawing conclusions.
