Is it possible...

To meet someone in real life, without dating apps?

I was recently banned from a dating app (not my fault) so now I cannot sign up to any other apps if they are ran by the same company.

Tbh, I'm taking a much needed break from poor attempts dating. I'm starting therapy and going to start going to the gym soon. I'm 24 and I feel like I'm in the right mindset to start taking care of myself.

I would like to meet someone eventually but now without the assistance of dating apps, I just have no idea how to do that. I live in a very small, shite city (imagine a bunch of random, cheap clothing stores, about 7 gregs per square meter and not much else) with not much to do.

Tell me how you met your partners In Real Life, is there a glimmer of hope for me? 😭

Of course it is 😏 how do you think people met before apps? Why have you been banned from all dating apps though?

I know. It just seems almost impossible these days. And I was banned because someone reported me. I went on a date with him but he was very confrontational and aggressive so I left and blocked him. I don't think he appreciated that so he reported me, said God knows what and I was banned for "violating terms of service" (they don't give you an explanation). I appealed it but they politely said "tough shit" and basically took his word for it

But there’s tons of apps out there tbh at 24 you should find it easy meeting men irl? I use to have men chatting me up all the time when I was young (doesn’t happen now!)so never needed apps, met men out socially do you not go out socially with friends?

majority of them are owned by the same company as the one I was banned from so can't make an account with any of those. Me and my friends do go out not often as we are all busy with work, uni etc. Tbf, I've not had experience of men approaching me or getting chatted up so I can't say it's easy to meet men irl 😅
