After my divorce, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to date again. Most apps felt shallow or too chaotic. But Hily was surprisingly different. It didn’t feel like I was being thrown into a meat market. The vibe was calmer, and the questions they ask when setting up your profile made it feel like they actually care about who you are, not just what you look like. I matched with someone who’d also been through a divorce, and we connected over that shared experience. We didn’t rush anything — just got to know each other, one message at a time. And for the first time in years, I felt like dating could actually be kind and supportive, not exhausting.
