Have you ever found anything serious on the dating apps ?

[Pinkflowersxo]

Just curious, I have just left a 9 year relationship which was very abusive. I am not ready to date right now as I'm going through counselling/ healing but I am curious as to how you meet anyone now especially being a mum.

The last time I was single I was 18, young & free. I have my / DC who are 7&6.

I am 28, I do go out occasionally and I do get approached when I go out but usually really sleezy types of men. Apps were not a thing really the last time I was single, I'm just wondering do people really find anything serious on the apps ?

A worry I have is they are more likely to cheat if you end up in a relationship because of the idea of there being many "options". However don't I don't like the types of men that approach me on a night out 🙈🤣

Another no but then I’m twice your age. I just seem to attract illiterate sex pests

I’ve had a handful of dates and only a couple were ok. Its a waste of time for most people

I think being on an app meant that he could safely assume that it was ok to express romantic intentions in a way he never would have done IRL
This is what I like about OLD too - you know the people there are looking for a relationship, and usually you know that they find you attractive in some way. Makes things much simpler than meeting people in real life.

Met my dp online 7 years ago (me 48, him 52). He's the type of person who would chat women up in a bar. But he'd never have found me hanging about in a bar!
I was not looking for something serious and am still quite surprised that's what it turned out to be. Would not have expected him to be as interesting and emotionally intelligent as he is.
