Dating in Mexico as an English speaker
Many Mexicans in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and the tourist areas speak some English, but Spanish is the language of everyday dating. The Mexican dating sites in our ranking, be2, Solteros 50 (Singles50), Solteros con Nivel (Academic Singles) and Amor50 (50sDating), are in Spanish. International apps like Tinder, Bumble and Badoo work in English.
Our tip: write your profile in simple Spanish with a line in English. Even basic Spanish shows you are making an effort, and it is warmly received.
The best dating apps in Mexico
Tinder, Bumble and Badoo are the most widely used dating apps in Mexico, and all three work in English with free chat once you match. They are the easiest place to start if your Spanish is still basic. For a serious relationship with Mexican singles, the dating sites below ask more about you and suggest fewer, better-matched profiles.
Is there a Mexican dating site?
Most Mexicans use the same international apps as everyone else. For a Spanish-speaking community focused on serious relationships, be2 is our top-rated site in Mexico, Solteros 50 and Amor50 focus on singles over 50, and Solteros con Nivel is aimed at educated professionals. All four are in Spanish; a browser translation tool helps while you sign up and read profiles.
What is free on Mexican dating sites?
be2, Solteros 50, Solteros con Nivel and Amor50 are free to join: you create a profile, take the personality test where there is one and receive match suggestions. Messaging needs a subscription, and prices are shown after sign-up. On Tinder, Bumble and Badoo, chatting with your matches is free.

Tips for dating in Mexico

- In Mexico City, neighbourhoods like Roma, Condesa, Coyoacán and Polanco have plenty of cafés and bars for a first date.
- Many expats live in Guadalajara, Mérida, San Miguel de Allende and Playa del Carmen; the apps there show both locals and other foreigners.
- Plans are often made at short notice and dinners start later than in the US or the UK, so do not be surprised by a 9 pm invitation.
- Never send money to someone you met online, prefer verified profiles and meet in a busy public place.
