without knowing you at all, i’ll just say i think the key to dating is to just do it however feels right for you and have 0 intention or expectation or anything until you get to know the person/people you’re seeing. hinge has been great for me but can’t fault anyone that doesn’t fuck with apps
people in london have mostly been really cool once they open up in my experience if they weren’t immediately (tbf i’ve basically only been going on dates with queer women or femme presenting nonbinary people since i’ve been here)

i’ve met like
a fair few people who have ended up becoming some of my best friends from hinge
and a couple really cool people i‘m seeing
has worked really well in every city i’ve lived in, i feel like it’s more queer than other apps? and it promotes actually reading people’s profiles more rather than just going off first photo
but at its core apps are just a way to meet people because day to day has gotten so desocialised esp in london

it‘s all about time, luck, and making a profile that’s treads the line of seductive and off-putting - be hot and put your idiosyncrasies on show in a way that is guaranteed to put some ppl off and draw the right ppl in..this broke the cycle of boring matches and dead convos for me.
when I matched with my now bf he said my hinge reminded him of a tumblr profile <333 he got it
the thing about hinge as well is that basically every single person looking to date in London is on it so it’s just a matter of time

im gonna ramble for a second. i have a real distaste for dating apps, but despite this i still don’t delete them. a small part of me thinks it’ll work out in my favor one day. but shoutout the loyal storylikers i’ve gained from failed hinge talking stages hahaha… i have a very loose definition of ‘type’ in terms of physicality, and even then someone physicality is never a deal breaker. usually. i don’t think i am meant to meet people this way. and i think a lot of people also say this so i am not original in this feeling, but i think i need to fall in love with a friend, someone that there is already a baseline compatibility with, a mutual appreciation already there. all the fanfic i read as a kid was a friends to lovers trope! and i think it works for a reason. that being said its scary to become friends with someone and then think your feelings are further than platonic, because now its hard to decipher between what could be deliberately flirty or just like. your standard hang ykno? i still have never successfully deciphered this so i don’t wanna stand on my soapbox and act like i have any real expertise. just thinking out loud. i’ve been kinda lonely recently and everyone around me has been getting into relationships, this venus retrograde is no joke haha. and the added nuance to the lesbian dating experience, ive been feeling more isolated than usual. sorry this one’s a bummer a little!!! maybe i should stick to album / song reviews

leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)
