So, how does a first timer go about getting involved in dating apps? How do I start and what’s a good one to use? Last time I dated, only Match existed!! 🙄 (long story, I’m not that old)

Okkk...let's see. I mean, Match is probably still a good option. It has changed, though, especially as in the filters. Like me, I'm quite specific as to what I'm looking for..for starters, a man who has never been married and has no kids (but wants them). I like that I can filter by that. No longer can you filter by occupation or income. As for dating apps, I personally have liked Bumble in the past, just for the fact that if we both swipe right, then the woman has to start the conversation. I don't like the fact that you can't filter out men who have been married and/or have kids. I have made sure to specify that in my profile, at least. I'm choosing not to do dating apps this year (hopefully) but I've tried just about all of them, I think, so I definitely know some little tips if you're interested. Just depends on what you're looking for, I guess. LOL

I will start by praying and make a list of what you are looking for in your date. Raising up your expectations is not a bad idea.
