Just got out of a 5 yr long term relationship. I’m just realizing how awesome the 30+ dating pool is. Everyone is established, got their shits together, no time for games, and we are treating each other like adults. I love my 30s !

Flyday thoughts: I'm a 💁🏼 who is attracted to 💁🏾‍♂️ guys. But the desi men I've dated have been more interested in casual hookups, not relationships. I'm not that kind of girl so it always fizzles out pretty soon. Are there 💁🏾‍♂️ out there who would be interested in a (potentially serious-ish) relationship with a white girl, and is there a way differentiate them from the guys just tryna get laid?

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)
