I’m gonna be blunt and say abandon ship and start healing while you can. That’s a recipe for some major hurt the longer you prolong it.
yeah probably but also I’ve been chasing this girl for four months now so it’s gonna be really hard not to
she’s probably moving back home (halfway across the country) early next year. however after two days I’m pretty sure she’s getting extremely emotionally invested already so point is moot. whatever happens happens
I got the apps for two weeks and felt like less of a person because of it. Got a handful of matches, only one that showed any indication that she wanted to go on a date then just had me ask questions to her, never responded with any follow-up questions and just posted a ton on Threads. Gonna assume she just wanted the ego boost, so I unmatched. She goes to the same gym I go to, but we never met in person so that shouldn’t be a problem. EDIT: Through Reddit, I did discover that there’s a local group on Facebook where friends can vouch for you and you can find people that are interested without the worry of the algorithm. Probably gonna give that a try within the month.
My favorite activity is paying for hinge and then never opening the app for the entire length of the subscription. I really need to cancel that lol
the girl I’m seeing was the first person I met up with IRL from hinge or any dating app ever in my life back in June. She had hinge installed for about 36 hours before getting overwhelmed and uninstalling. Moral of the story: this shit is pure luck
On a serious note after the way my 9 year relationship went and ultimately ended I really never thought I’d find someone that makes me feel this way again or that I was even capable of feeling anything like this at all. it’s been a weird six months since I ended things with my ex. I did some messy shit over the last month or so but I’ve ultimately landed in a very good place in a very good situation. I know I said it was just luck that led me to this person I’m with but isn’t that how meeting anybody is? Just a right place right time thing? The apps can work
