Founder & Editor

Daniel Reyes

I've spent eight years helping people navigate online dating — testing platforms, reading the fine print, and watching how much of the industry is designed to waste your time. I started HeartWise to cut through that: honest testing, plain language, and advice I'd give a friend.

My work focuses on free and low-cost dating sites, safety, and the small habits that make online dating feel less exhausting. Every review on this site is based on a real signup and a two-week test — never a paid placement.
