Dating in Chile as an English speaker
English is less widespread in Chile than in many European countries, so some Spanish makes a real difference. In Santiago, especially in Providencia, Las Condes and Ñuñoa, you will find more English speakers among young professionals, students and the international community. Chilean dating sites like Solteros50, be2, NuevoAmor50, Solteros con Nivel and Fuego de Vida are in Spanish. Tinder, Bumble and Badoo work in English.
Our tip: Chilean Spanish is fast and full of local slang. Don’t be shy about asking your match to slow down; most Chileans find it endearing.
Is there a Chilean dating app?
Most Chileans use the same international apps as everyone else, with Tinder at the top, followed by Bumble and Badoo. For a serious relationship, Spanish-language dating sites with match suggestions are popular, especially with singles over 40, who are well served in Chile by Amor40, NuevoAmor50, Solteros50 and Amor60.
What is free on Chilean dating sites?
Solteros50, be2, NuevoAmor50, Amor60, Solteros con Nivel, Amor40 and Fuego de Vida are free to join: you create a profile and browse members or receive match suggestions. Messaging needs a subscription on most of them; prices are shown after sign-up. On Tinder, Bumble and Badoo, chatting with your matches is free.
