after my breakup over a year ago i decided not to download any dating apps, and i still haven't, and i think that's been the best decision for me. this website is the closest thing to a "dating app" that i'm on currently. i've gone on dates here and there, but all people i've met out in the wild. just feels like so much less pressure and stress when dating/finding a relationship isn't the center of my universe!!

Like someone else said, one of the best, most freeing things is to leave the dating apps behind especially if you struggle with self esteem. I know people who have found amazing relationships from dating apps, but as a whole I believe they have done a great job at commoditizing romance and making interactions transactional; they want you to pay more money to keep swiping until your thumbs hurt. Combine that with the fact that all the major dating apps are owned by either Match Group or Bumble, data privacy concerns, and you now have an industry that treats dating like a mobile gacha game. Dating felt fun and natural for me the minute I left the apps behind. This is just my 2 cents, so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe they work for you, if so, more power to you!

I know you feel incredibly single today, same. but don’t even thiiiink about downloading that fuckass app. It’s not worth it, I PROMISE you are doing fine on your own.
But, if you do decide to download a wretched dating app anyways, please keep in mind that the one holding a dead fish in their dating profile is probably not going to love you with tenderness and understanding for a lifetime. Don’t settle.

having older friends who can share their wisdom and life experiences and older-person quirks is so fun and wholesome

genuinely believe journaling has saved my mental health but doing it in public alone is such a better alternative to going on your phone and also if you have a pretty notebook it's a great conversation starter

if you expect everything you make to be a masterpiece you’ll never get started on anything….let yourself make “bad” stuff in order to get to the “good” stuff
