I Joined a Dating App
Who Knew a Global Pandemic Would Turn My Dating Life Around!
For months (if not years at this point) my phone has been pretty DRY. Nothing really in rotation, no roster, nothing. My dating life has basically been in quarantine before quarantine was even a thing. Then Covid-19 hit and I’m now forced to stay in the house and my chances of meeting anyone are now down to zero. Two of my friends have been advocating for dating apps for a while now. One has had success in finding a boyfriend in LA and the other has found success in meeting people in NY. With nowhere else to turn and the desire to engage with someone other than my plants, I decided to join a dating app.
Extremely hesitant I created a profile on the app and figured what’s the worst that can happen. I see someone I know or they see me? That everyone I see will be unattractive? Or that the guys on there will all just be J.A.N.’s. Nonetheless, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and try something different. Can’t expect a different result if I’m always doing the same thing right?
Day One: Joined app & profile now live. No matches, just a bunch of unattractive men and way too many pics of men with their dogs.
Day Two: First match, sends a message but nothing exciting
Day Three: My first match messages me ‘Grand Rising’ and now he is out of the running. Idk why but ‘grand rising’ annoys TF out of me lol.
Day Four: Started chatting with Menz 1
Day Five: Convo has been good with Menz 1 but still engaging searching other profiles
Day Six: Started chatting with Menz 2
Day Seven: Paused Profile, started texting with Menz 1 & Menz 2 outside of the app
So, in just seven days I went from no prospects to 2 potentials and they are LOCAL. I decided to pause my profile as I can’t entertain more than 3 people at a time. A girl gets tired and there are only so many hours in a day lol.
Let’s see how this goes!
