I’ve met up with two guys on dating apps. Both times they seemed to like me and be interested in me. But then they would just disappear. It kind of hurts because at this point it feels gross to just be tossed aside. But that’s life!
I would like to start meeting men in person by just overall being more social. But honestly dating makes me anxious because one day they can just disappear and leave you hurt. However, I know you have to learn to accept this possibility.
So my question is, what is your preferences? Also, where did you find most success with relationships? Among my friends, I rarely see any of them have success from dating apps but more success when meeting someone outside of apps. What are your opinions on the different routes of finding love?

I mean, if you and your friends have more success outside of dating apps, then why use dating apps?
Just meet people IRL then tbh
Just looked at Bumble’s Play Store reviews since I was considering reloading it. It’s obvious some of their budget goes to paid shills to keep their reviews above 1 star. The rest of the apps are the same.
The entire dating app industry is a glorified Nigerian prince scam. I’m surprised anyone is still talking about them.
I prefer meeting people IRL since I can get to k ow them better and feel like it’s less likely to be ghosted or being lied. But its so hard to meet new people IRL
I prefer dating apps because I met my wife on one. For me it was a lot easier and less stressful to initiate online. On reflection, I’ve come to realize that I am terrified of rejection. The only time I ever felt comfortable initiating in person was high school. Every other relationship in my life; the woman made the first move, or it was setup through friends or family. Which is fine, but I wasn’t the one choosing who I wanted. Online dating was the only time besides high school that I chose the woman.
