This is the situation hundreds, if not thousands, of expats find themselves in each year when they arrive at the shiny spires of the Czech capital city. To find out the best ways to meet your match, we talked to nearly a dozen of them. And as experts in their own experiences, they had some great practical advice and the occasional stories about horrifying encounters. Most people agreed that the easiest way to meet new people in the Czech Republic is through online dating.
According to a survey conducted by Kaspersky , the most popular dating app among local users was Badoo, with 54 percent of Czechs who have ever used dating apps logging in.
Tinder was the next most popular 45 percent , followed by Seznamka. For her, swiping around in the 18β25 demographic only means browsing one-night stands and hookups that will make you itch. She recommended ditching online dating apps altogether, especially Tinder. Those horror stories are endless. Alissa from Brazil has had more than her share of them. When she first got to Prague, she was intimidated by dating locals. Often, she ended up going on dates with American students or French guys on vacation.
But after a while, she decided to give Czech guys a chance. But after kissing a lot of frogs, she found a prince. We met online, and he is Czech-Canadian. When I said I was from Brazil, he did not ask if I lived in a jungle. Of course, some of the best stories for dating in Prague would come from, well, a Czech person!
So you can probably imagine why, even as somebody who comes from the Czech Republic, I have a hard time dating. So she tried Bumble, where ladies have to make the first move which allegedly minimizes harassment it fails in that task, by the way, according to her. Tinder, on the other hand, worked almost too well because her first ever date was a man with whom she had only been talking for three days. But as kind and intelligent as he was, she bore the burden of carrying the conversation which, as a "partial introvert," was not exactly in her comfort zone.
