Was it a mainstream one, or one you paid for?

Tinder. I used Bumble too for a bit but found it was pretty much the same people on both so just stuck to one. Never used a paid one, couldn't see the point when there's so many free ones.

Met my boyfriend of two years on Tinder, we were both also on bumble. I tried a payed sight briefly but I didn’t think it was worth it at all, a lot of the same people as on the free ones and the not usually any more interesting.

Tinder.

I used POF - plenty of weirdo's but some really nice guys who I had some decent chats with.
I met my partner on there nearly 2yrs ago & he is definitely my soulmate
Preserve & weed out the weirdo's Wink

Met DH on tinder

Jenhen89 · 21/12/2021 22:44

Plenty of Fish. Had to kiss a few frogs but was worth it in the end. He’s my soulmate and best friend.

Met my DP on Tinder 18 months ago now

slaybell · 21/12/2021 22:45

Plenty of Fish.

Tinder, best wrong swipe of my life.

Summerhillsquare · 21/12/2021 22:47

Bumble. Never used paid for functions. Had to go on LOTS of dates to find BF tho.

Badoo :)

Plenty of fish. Met dh after a few bad ones. Been together 13 years now.

Met my partner on hinge. We’ve been together for coming up to two years

Sunsetsupernova · 21/12/2021 22:50

Hinge. Never paid for one in many years of dating. Recently I’ve heard of more and more friends (20s-30s) meeting their partners on there so it seems to be growing in popularity

TangoTarantella · 21/12/2021 22:50

Bumble. Didn’t use paid features.

SleepingStandingUp · 21/12/2021 22:52

POF. Married since 2013. Good metaphorical swipe

Wowcherarestalkingme · 21/12/2021 22:53

E-harmony. Which did cost money. Met DH on the first day I joined ten years ago. I had tried Match before that but didn’t have much luck.

OGenkiDesuKa · 21/12/2021 22:53

Tinder. Got married last week

GiveYourHeadAWobble · 21/12/2021 22:54

Guardian Soulmates! This was over a decade ago - I don’t think it exists anymore.

AndSoFinally · 21/12/2021 22:58

Bumble

HalfDutchGirl · 21/12/2021 22:59

Match. Though bizarrly it turned out we knew each other 25 years ago and he actually came to my first wedding & I've photos of him from back then! I didn't use my real name on Match so it was only when we swapped numbers he twigged that he knew me!
