I have used a few different dating apps on and off and even had a relationship with someone from a dating app (tinder). It was ok (even slightly exciting) using apps at first but now I can't even use apps for a long period of time without deleting them after a couple of days.
I just feel desperate when I use the apps and although I am sure there are probably a few decent guys on there, I just can't shake the weird feeling of meeting someone from an ap. I have some pretty happy memories from past relationships in which "meet-cute" scenarios have happened. I think it is just so much better to meet someone in person, I've met people in real life that I would have considered dating or were my "type" (but for various reasons, wouldn't be able to date them). I pretty much NEVER get the same feeling when meeting someone on an ap and rarely get excited about any of the guys on the aps. Plus, this might be silly but I hate telling people that you met your s.o. on an ap. I'm 25, turning 26 soon but I've recently made the decision that I'm no longer using dating aps. It could be because I'm not really focused on relationships right now but I also want someone to totally take me by surprise and have things happen "organically" or whatever. It's a feeling that I can't quite put my finger on but really I can't be the only one?!?
