>>212749292I met my wife on Tinder, actually.
At first she thought it was creepy that I didn't have pictures on my profile with friends or any social media presence (I still have none whatsoever). Her friends were telling her not to meet with me because of this. When we went on dates they were checking on her every 5 minutes via text to see if she's unharmed, on the first date a friend of hers was physically following us without me knowing. She even brought a fucking pepper spray in her bag the first few times.
But then she spent time with me anyway and we fell in love.
To be fair I'm 190cm tall, good looking, fit, have a really good job, own a nice downtown apartment and a nice car.
But yeah, point is, dating apps can work. You're on the market, she's on the market, you're both looking and can communicate this without any extra noise, it's just logical and convenient. Don't pay for shit though.
