Dating in Poland as an English speaker
Many Poles speak good English, especially younger people and in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk and Poznań. Polish dating sites like be2, eDarling, 40smeet, Loveat50 and Singles50 are where many locals look for a serious relationship, and they are in Polish. International apps like Tinder, Bumble and Badoo work in English.
Our tip: add a few words of Polish to your profile, even just “Cześć!”. Polish has a reputation for being hard, so any effort stands out.
The best dating apps in Poland
Tinder, Bumble and Badoo are the most widely used dating apps in Poland, and all three work in English with free chat once you match. In Kraków and Wrocław, where many international companies have offices, you will also see plenty of other foreigners on them.

Is there a Polish dating app?
Most Poles use the same international apps as everyone else. For a Polish-speaking community, be2 and eDarling focus on serious relationships with a personality test, 40smeet is aimed at singles over 40, and Loveat50 and Singles50 at singles over 50. All of them are in Polish; a browser translation tool helps while you sign up and read profiles.

be2, eDarling, 40smeet, Loveat50 and Singles50 are free to join: you create a profile, take the personality test where there is one and browse members or receive match suggestions. Messaging needs a subscription or paid extras, and prices are shown after sign-up. On Tinder, Bumble and Badoo, chatting with your matches is free.
