Define dating…

If you don't mind dating people who are bold enough to ask for butthole pictures when you first meet them, then yeah absolutely

Met my boyfriend of a year on there. We didn’t discuss any NSFW until after our first date. Definitely not the norm tho.

I met my current bf on Grindr. We didn’t do the typical Grindr hookup though, we decided to try a date instead. Still together almost 2 years later.

Met my boyfriend on there too. When I was on it before dating him, was easy to just ask people to drinks. If they only were interested in getting to know my butthole, then usually they wouldn’t respond / explicitly state that was their only interest.

Like is it normal to start hooking up with someone from the app then start dating them?

I drafted the response but got side track in a teams call lol
1. We hooked up a couple of times and after the second one I said do you want to grab something for dinner and then magic happened
2. He wanted to hookup and I said I think you are more interesting than a 1 night thing let’s go for a date, we hooked up later
3. Late at night he wanted to hookup but I said it’s too late and he proposed a drink, went to a nearby bar and magic happened

Yes. Have met several of my bfs there.

I met my SO on there four years ago and couldn’t be happier :D if I was single I’d actively use grindr to date. I like that it’s more casual

I never used it for dating. I wasn’t big on dating. I was big on meeting randoms. One of those randoms is my husband now. Haha

I met my husband there… 6 years ago. We used to say to people that we actually met on the train going to work 😆

Met my boyfriend of 4 years on grindr. We were 290 miles away from eachother lol so it was obvious that I wasn’t looking to just hookup

Yes. It’s actually probably the best way to date imo. Figure out if you have physical chemistry, then work backwards. Why waste money on drinks or dinner only to find out later that the sex part is dissapointing?

Met husband on Grindr, started as hookup. Been married for 7 years, together for 10. 1 kid.

How do you usually ask for PTO? I have the days accrued but I have PTSD from a past job about asking for time off. I’m wanting to take 5 days in June for a family trip and know I need to put in the request to the partners I work for sooner rather than later. I had to take a day this last week and they were great about it (immediate “Yeses”) but somehow, asking for a week feels like a hurdle. (Also, I’m only 7 months in, haven’t met the partners IRL, and we only really communicate via email)
