No subscription. No trial. Just people in Colombo.
Plenty of people in Colombo are on more than one app and paying for none of them. EzHookups works that way by design — free profiles, free messaging — Gangaramaya Temple is a reliable first-date answer.
Why Colombo members stay on EzHookups

No card required to sign up, and no trial that quietly renews

Skip 'hey' — ask about something you actually read on their profile
Update your photos every couple of months so you resurface in results
Set your radius to Colombo first, then widen it if the pool feels thin
Add three to five recent photos — one smiling, one candid, one full-body
Message within a day of matching — conversations go cold fast
Never send money or card details, however convincing the reason sounds
