    Dating apps are what broke dating. If you are using dating apps, you’re doing it wrong.

      What a boomer-ass sounding comment. Most of my friends met their partners on Tinder or Bumble, and so did I.

      For people in more rural areas, shy people, or mid-life relationship-seekers/divorcees, dating apps are the absolute most efficient way of meeting people you wouldn’t otherwise normally get to.

      Bot accounts may be a problem, but not everywhere, and not for everyone.

      Personally, I can’t recommend dating apps enough. Boosted my confidence, made me better at conversation, allowed me to be pickier in my choices, and found me my soul mate.

      Tell that to the millions of people who met long-term partners only because they used dating apps. I met mine on an app and now we have a kid together. We don’t have overlapping friend groups, and although we share hobbies we didn’t do them in the same areas.

      I live in a tiny ass town where the only two ways people socialize with strangers is drinking and maybe gambling and even then this is not a very social area. I am a currently sober alcoholic and even if I liked gambling I don’t have the money for it. Thoughts on how I can date ‘correctly’?
