As a person who has experience using Bumble and Facebook dating apps, I have many different views of this side of social media. Although I am not very successful in attracting people in this field, I have had many interesting experiences with these apps, and I also gained some benefits from that.
First of all, it helped me in redefining the girl I wanted. When I described the type of girlfriend I was looking for and let the app suggest it to me, I was totally surprised because the result did not look like my imagination.
Bumble also helps me with a travel mode when I want to travel and meet people in places I haven’t seen before. Dating apps lead to me feeling less alone. The Facebook dating app is free to use, and the price of using Bumble is not too expensive.
These types of apps are very helpful in finding your dream person, especially for people who are shy and have a small social circle. It is also the place where you can show the best version of yourself.
Looking for new people is easy and convenient with just a swipe, and my personal information is also kept private before I decide to officially meet the girl I want. It is a place where you can feel free to connect with other people with no constraints.
On the negative side, it is very hard to evaluate how good the people are when talking to them. To deal with this problem, I usually have a deep talk with the strangers to make sure I feel safe enough to meet them in person. But sometimes you have to be ready to face other issues, such as the person stops talking to you because they are looking for someone else.
It is not because you are not good; it is because you guys were not meant for each other. If you are in this situation, just let them go and move on to the next match.
My advice is to be real on social dating apps to find a real partner, even if you don’t even know who you are talking to. In my opinion, it’s possible to find your soulmate on social dating apps.
If you are serious about an official relationship, you need to show a genuine attitude toward the person you match. Take time to talk with that person, and be nice to the people you plan to meet in person.
