three of my closest friends found their spouses thru a dating app. I tried it and had no luck but found my spouse through a mutual friend. I don’t think it’s as bad as what everyone says!

Tinder is fun but exhausting. I like hinge if you’re looking for more meaningful connections

If you’re a female, you’ll have plenty of options and high probability of it being a waste of time. If you’re a male, waste of time. Not a reliable way to find someone.

Go out with friends and join things.

It is what you make of it. You just have to vet people and be upfront about what you’re looking for.

Dating apps suck and they make most people feel shitty- but they aren’t all bad. I hear people sing the praises of Hinge- but I did Hinge and Bumble and Hinge was slower and quality, and bumble had WAY more people so I went on more dates from it.

Fun if you just want to go out, get black out drunk and make poor decisions.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
