The Harsh Reality of Online Dating

Emax

If it's one thing I've learned recently it's that online dating is so harshly depressing. My therapist suggested I try it out and I absolutely regret it and wish I never went for it to begin with. Thoughts?

      @Alpine I feel like the experience of men and women are wildly different on dating apps.

      I haven’t had great experiences. A lot of ghosting and mean things being said. After 2 years of being single and on dating apps, I met my current boyfriend. I would NOT have met him if it weren’t for a dating app. We’ve been together about a year and a half now and we live together. It’s hard to get past all the mean people, but if you can, it’s a good way to meet people in places you never thought you would

      I know I get anxiety from it. I use to enjoy going on blind dates but now you never know who is a predator or not. You have to have fun or don't do it. I am doing it now and just take it with a grain of salt and don't expect anything and I am careful and don't give out my number too fast. If you are on Facebook dating you can talk to someone right on the site so they don't need your number which is good.

      Online dating has been nothing short of horrific for me. I never get any likes or matches... and if I do, it's always one of 3 things: 1) It's either a girl or a bot just trying to sell their nudes. 2) It's a girl who matches with me, says some absolutely terrible and cruel, and then blocks me before I can respond. 3) We start talking, things are going well, and then she just up and ghosts me out of nowhere after like 20-30 minutes.

        @NervousDepresso Or option 4) They bail the second they find out I don't have a job.

      I met my current bf on Hinge, we went to hs together but never talked once. We are 4 months in & going strong. I love him & he makes me laugh. Don't take dating too seriously, have fun & try to enjoy it. People on dating sites, especially Tinder, are just trying to hookup. Set boundaries & what you are looking for early into the conversation.
