I came to this group a year and a 1/2 ago in a 1/2 ago asking if I should give a present to this guy who I had only been on one date with. The date went super well but he was going to go have a minor surgery and I wouldn’t get to see him again for 3 weeks perfor 3 weeks. I wanted to give him a little gift basket so he didn’t get bored in the hospital.Here is the original post:

I (35f) want to give a little present to a guy (35m) that I am going on a second date with; is that too much? from relationship_advice

Just to update you all, WE GOT ENGAGED!!! Last week we went on a hike up to a field of wildflowers and he got down on one knee. We met on Bumble! We are both 37.
Trust your gut.
Don’t lose hope.
Reddit is a great place to get advice 🥰

  10. I met my current partner on bumble and what I find so funny is that I have had zero luck on that app prior to us getting together. Like, zero matches progressed to an actual date. Now my partner and I have been together for a year and a half and moved cities together. Couldn’t be happier.

    Also big congrats on the engagement!

  15. Well I’m going to go ahead and take sole credit for this one. An act of financial appreciation wouldn’t be inappropriate. After all, I am responsible for for all your future happiness.

  16. This makes me so happy. Me and my GF met on bumble. We are moving in together, and I love her so much!

  27. Redditors really enjoy getting married before 25 and/or getting engaged after knowing someone less than 2 years! People are free to live their lives however they want though, obviously, I just find it curious. Whatever makes you happy.
