I think I’m going to end my online dating experiment....
In the beginning I was very interested in how this whole world of online dating began. With all the funny stories I’ve heard and corky tumblr posts I’ve seen about it I though it would be the greatest thing ever. Boy was I wrong. I tried out 4 different apps, but ended up with similar outcomes. The four apps I tried were (coffee meets bagel ...hilarious, bumble, something called hinge I think, and this Christian dating app.) Mind you I went into these without serious intentions. I was open minded, interested, and excited. So let’s discuss my results. Before I discuss these I need to mention that I didn’t know anything about them, and I just picked ones from the App Store. Ok let’s do this! App #1: Hinge So I signed up via Facebook because I just felt that it was easier, and I made my profile look approachable. Next of course was judging the guys and waiting to see who would talk to me based off of appearance and my ever so basic profile description. This one gave me the lowest amount of results. Usually just a bunch of busy doctors or creeps who lead a conversation with “you’re sexy” ugh....gross. So I deleted that one and moved on! App #2: Cross paths (the Christian dating app) Man oh man! I have one thing to say about this one....If you’re looking to meet some really cute Canadian guys this is the app for you! There are absolutely no guys in my area that are on here. I matched with so many Canadian guys it wasn’t even funny. I have no issue with this, but they’re too far away to make conversation or anything. This app was a bust so I deleted my profile and moved on. App #3: Coffee meets Bagel This app gave me so actual conversations and a fair amount of guys to choose from. I still think that sounds weird because it’s not like they are so form of produce you check for bruises before you buy to make sure it’s ok. Any who, this app kind of lets the ladies decide. They send you 5 guys who have “liked” you and you can decide to “pass” or “like” them back. Due to the fact that I was open minded and not taking this seriously at first I would usually say “hm why not?!” To guys I wouldn’t have given a chance in real life. So either they would message me or I would message them. Out of the large amount of guys I talked to 3 of them. One would write me everyday with a new joke (it for old after a while, but he was a nice guy), the other was kind of creepy, he started off nice but ended up calling me sexy and not asking me anything about myself...weirdo! Lastly, I spoke with one guy for about a week, then we exchanged numbers and went on an actual real life date! What?! I have never been on one so the whole situation was weird. He too was a nice guy, but there was no spark. Mind you going on a real date wasn’t my original intention, but hey it happened! Lastly..... App #4: Bumble I have never used tinder before, but I feel like this is what it is. Literally you swipe left or right, or you can pay to see who has liked you and skip the guessing game. What did I do? Ha! I paid. Lol I may have wasted money, but I don’t like uncertainty. Anywho, this app gives the ladies full control. You choose who you message and they can respond or not. Out of the four apps this one became really addicting because of the swiping thing and the moments of wondering who would respond to a message. I messaged tons of them a simple “Hi”. Short and sweet, take it or leave it. I don’t care. On here I had actual conversations with two guys out of 150+ (that’s over the course of 4 days). On here I did this thing where I would change my bio to make it look different to see what kinds of guys I would attract. The turnout was quite interesting, but ultimately all the guys looked the same at the end. In the end I met a guy who told me to come f*** him (I kindly blocked him. I don’t do that kind of stuff), a Canadian guy who is a really cool nerd, and a super sweet guy who I think could have an actual chance with me! I’ll keep you posted. To summarize this this post I just want to say that my dream was to meet a guy in the grocery store, but the way the world is everyone is on their phones, so online dating is the way to go! It might take a while but you could find a potential partner on there. My original intentions were just to see who I attracted, and be kind to all of them. By the end I was hoping to meet a guy with serious intentions who was looking for a real relationship. It’s weird how my views shifted. Now I wonder how many of these people do it for fun, random hookups, or to really find the potential love of their life. Either way, if you are comfortable with talking to strangers and dealing with weirdos go for it! Try out one of these apps! If not, keep hope alive for that cute rom com moment where you both reach for the same piece of fruit in the grocery store. Love is everywhere people! As as always thank you for reading! If you made it to the end of this one I’d love to hear your online dating stories! I’m sure they’re interesting. Lol Have an awesome day/night wherever you are. Remember you are amazing and someone loves you. ❤️

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON YOU GUYS?! HOW IS EVERYTHING GOING? NO ONE EVER COMMENTED ON THESE BUT STILL HAHA.
I HAVE SOOOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT AND SO MUCH TO SAY! WHERE DO I START? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW? OK I’LL START WITH LAST YEAR: IT WASN’T THE BEST YEAR IF WE’RE BEING HONEST. I MEAN I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR LAST YEAR, BUT OTHER THAN THAT MY ANXIETY CONTROLLED ME LIKE A PUPPETEER. I SWEAR I WAS A MESS. WAY TOO AFRAID TO TALK TO PEOPLE. IT WAS BAD. I STARTED A WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY (NOT LIKE A COUPLE YEARS AGO). SO FAR I’M 63 POUNDS DOWN, MY WAIST WENT FROM 47 TO 32, AND MY HIPS ARE DOWN A BIT, BUT STILL AS WIDE AS ALWAYS. (I DON’T THINK THEY’RE EVER GONNA GO DOWN LOL). REMEMBER ALL THOSE POSTS I USED TO WRITE ABOUT FINDING LOVE AND PRAYING FOR A GOOD MAN WHO HAD A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF, WELL.....I’M STILL SINGLE. LMAO. HOWEVER, I DID GO ON MY VERY FIRST DATE THIS YEAR. I WILL MAKE A WHOLE POST ABOUT THE WAY THIS ALL CAME ABOUT. THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY IS THAT HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY. (THAT’S A GREAT SIGN).... HMMMM....ANYTHING ELSE? OH! I HAVE BEEN VEGAN FOR 2 YEARS. IT’S STILL THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE. NO JOKE. I FOUND OUT I HAVE A GLUTEN ALLERGY, IT’S A PRETTY DOPE THING TO EXPERIENCE...NOT. I HOPE YOU YOU ALL ARE PREPARED FOR RANTS, POSITIVE POSTS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMES TO MIND. IM SO EXCITED TO BE BACK!! ❤️ INSTEAD OF SAYING “PEACE AND LOVE” THE NEW THING I’M GOING TO END WITH IS “SPREAD LOVE AND GRACE”. ❤️ KINDNESS, LOVE AND POSITIVITY GO A LONG WAY. TRY TO SMILE AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, AND REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE THINKS! 😌 |
