Do any online dating sites work

I think the probability of meeting a person through friends or family at a party or a get-together is more convincing to me.

Meetups for like-minded people with common interests sound great, too.

It seems like everyone in my generation/age group is using some sort of dating app, but I don’t see it as an authentic way of connecting on a deeper level with someone.

Meeting someone in a situation like that sets the tone and a topic for conversation, whereas my friends who use apps get so nervous about how they’ll be perceived on their coffee date!

I can’t stand dating apps – it takes the whole chase out of the equation, which is the fun part for both parties.

I’d been in long-distance relationships up until a few years ago and had no desire to try dating apps since becoming single. Luckily, I’m an extrovert who’s OK with alone time, so being by myself and striking up conversations is my zone.

My friends use them, and their complaints about the quality of matches, the dilemma of too much choice, and the buildup of chatting with someone for weeks only to meet in person and not have chemistry completely put me off of dating apps. Meeting men is easy because I’m living my life and doing what interests me and, luckily, since they’re there, too, it’s something they’re interested in, as well.
