- As suggested above, you could probably make your own with the right wordpress plugins; that may be enough for a initial proof of concept that you could scale later. Search for "wordpress dating sites" "build wordpress dating site" "wordpress dating themes", there are several pre-built options. Just adapt to your tone and target.
- I am a Drupal user (have tried several unsuccesful ventures with this technology and learned it in the journey), which is another CMS that gives a bit more flexibility. I would build the proof of concept using this. It is more flexible but much less popular than wordpress, so it is harder to find some template to go off from.
- Look at the flow of different dating webistes, i.e., Plenty-of-Fish, Tinder, Bumble, etc.. Figure out which one has the flow closest to your idea, and search for e.g. "bumble clone", or "tinder clone". Get a pre-made clone. Make sure you can modify these pre-made "clones" to your final liking and that the vendor/product doesn't have any type of "catch" that can screw your plans down the line.
- You can also post your project with the changes you need in UpWork (or some other freee lancing plantform) for one of the clones in #3 above for example. Look at how other people have requested dating site clones, how much information they give out, what kind of technology they require (PHP / Javascript / Rubby on rails, etc.).
- For all of the above you will need an appropriate hosting-provider/account to pair with.
- There is even a Udemy course on "how to start a dating site from scratch". Get a discount coupon and take the course... take this or any other course with a grain of salt, but it may give you some perspectives on the technology and strategies to get it started.
