mouse your response is spot on. I spent a solid 2 years completely alone as all of my friends moved out of Boston, which is a city that already feels like everyone has their same best friends from school/growing up here. I never experienced loneliness like that for that amount of time so I downloaded Bumble BFF. I had to quiet my ego all the way down because I felt like I was a “loser” for not having friends because I was constantly comparing my situation to others. The biggest thing like mouse said is you have to put in the effort and continuity or else plans will fall through. I had about 5 “dates” and I can honestly say they were all great and I had a fun time with each one. but some slowly faded out bc life. However I met two girls who by chance just started talking themselves and we all met and clicked immediately. We made sure to say after the first hang how important it was for us to have plans set and we made plans the following week. Long story short, I am now roommates with one of them and we both moved into the same neighborhood as the other girl in the group, and through them I have met their other friends. Bumble BFF changed my entire life and I know that we could have easily let this slip away if we hadn't made an effort at least for the first couple of months. I would try it out if you have in your city or I'm sure others will have ideas. Good luck ❤️
