When I met DP I’d just had a break of a few months from OLD. I’d had a few short lived rubbish relationships and was sick of it and of all the same faces, so I gave myself a break and spent the summer just hanging out with friends and not stressing about dating. Went back online and there he was! I was his first online date, 5 years later we’re still very happy Smile

I was taking a break from it when I met DH. I'd got in the habit of doing a couple a week and I was finding it pretty soul destroying. So when my paid membership lapsed I just left it, I could still see messages and profiles though. He messaged me and I read it but then ignored it for about 3 weeks. Eventually I decided he was worth a punt and paid for another month so I could reply. He replied almost immediately, we met about a week later and got married 5 months later!

GO!
I met DP about 18m ago online. He was my first ever tinder date and I wasn't going to go because I couldn't be arsed with all the potential fuckery. My friends convinced Me to go and he's been part of the furniture ever since.
I had no hopes and just wanted to lounge in my pjs and watch endless netflix. Really glad I went (my jeans aren't though-turns out I'm a happy eater)

I was the same. I was at the end of my tether with dating and I hated making the effort to go and meet someone if it went nowhere.
I was 27 with 3 young kids and didn't have time to waste. It's not like when I was younger and childfree, I'd at least get a night out from it, but it took planning and effort to meet up once I had the kids.
I eventually met my now husband and I knew straight away.
It was just effortless and I actively wanted to see him more and more. We went very quickly to him coming round of an evening once the kids were in bed. I think if I hadn't met him I would have taken a long break from dating.
