Thinking about dating again but fear the dating apps

Coming to the end and of a horrible divorce. I haven’t dated for a couple of years and I know not all men are shit but I’ve had some bad experiences and I hear so many stories about ghosting, breadcrumbing and women thinking they’ve met the one to then be just dropped out of nowhere. It’s holding me back from putting myself out there and I just wanted to ask AIBU for thinking like this or are there many success stories? Especially for mums in their late 30s/ early 40s. Most couples I know have been together for years and didn’t meet online

Nowadays the vast majority of people who want to date will use an app of some form.

The apps aren't the problem, it's the same men on those as it would be in the bars.

The key is to have an open mind, good boundaries, and don't let yourself get invested too early on.

I don't think it matters where you meet people - in a bar/at work/on a dog walk/online...it all just depends on the person.
