No longer on one. Met my husband there almost 9 years ago. He was a busy doc, I was a busy consultant. It worked because we were searching for the same thing. It’s important to sift through people who aren’t seeking genuine connections or just looking to hook up. Treat it like you are HR lol, really not everyone deserves a face to face interview. It will save you exhaustion from dating burnout.
I Know a couple of ppl who stream on there but never for dating
I’m not a fan of them 😭, I get on for a few days and then deactivate it. I prefer to meet ppl in person. My new challenge is solo dates every Friday night.
Love this. What have you been doing? Or what are you planning to do?
Met my love of my life husband on Hinge. Some initial tips…
- Make sure your photos have good range and show your face and figure well without heavy photoshop. Ideally, a casual look, a sporty look, a travel look, one photo among friends where it’s clear which one you are, one at a formal/semiformal event
- Share things about yourself that are true obviously but that are also friendly and easy for men to engage on. Eg instead of “It’s important that you get along with my friends” playfully mention the things you and your friends like to do “You can find me at trivia nights, weekend brunches and picnics at the park”
- Don’t let yourself become pen pals with guys who don’t make plans to meet. There’s a lot of these out there. Do not get emotionally invested in someone until you’ve met them a couple times. Men can portray themselves differently online and over talk then how they are in real life.
- Be open to guys that aren’t your usual type. Think to yourself “would I at least potentially be friends with this guy” and let that guide your interest in sending a like or accepting a match.
Don't do it 😂
That part 👆🏽😅
Know what you want and only engage with people looking for the same thing as you. Be direct and intentional. Do not engage with people who are not direct and intentional. Know what’s important to you in a relationship and what you need to build a connection with someone. Communicate. Be yourself.
I’ve enjoyed the dating apps, and have had pretty good success. Make sure your dating profile is truly who you are. Don’t fake who you are to get more connections. Be selective on who you meet in person. If you want to be intentional about finding your partner, have a “what are you looking for?” “What brings you to the apps” conversation on the first date. In my experience - It’s not weird at all, and if your date is intentionally looking for their person - they’ll answer honestly. I’m pro hinge! Tinder seems to be more hook up based. It’s all about what you’re looking for.
I just want to acknowledge that all of the people who found success I love this for y’all
Yes, thank you everyone for sharing!
I’be had it casually in the past (2021). Didn’t meet the LOML but met a few men who I had casual fun(ish) relationships with.
I’ll say dating apps aren’t as good now when compared with back in the day (2015-2019 imo). Feel like a lot of men on it rn are just tryna hook up. Even a lot of their responses sound so unserious lol. But it obvz doesn’t mean you won’t have a great time on it.
In terms of tips, I’d just say be very confident in what you want because you’ll be swipinggg for a minute and might get overwhelmed and want to settle for the first frog, don’t ❤️
Have you tried Facebook dating? I feel like it’s a little better since it’s their actual name and you can see if you have friends in common.
Ultimately it’s better to meet people organically if you have the time. Think- where would your ideal guy be right now. For me it’s the gym…. So I need to be there to meet him….. try a spa, high end restaurant bar, non profit benefit, networking event, volunteering…. I hear facebook has meet up groups in many cities this way there’s no one on one pressure…. Good luck!
Met my now fiance on an app, advice.. Keep it simple. 1-2 pics of yourself and a few sentences. Dont over share and make them work for your attention.
