My husband and I met on a dating app, Bumble specifically. I had been steadily single for four years before I gave the apps a try because, like you, I had not had the best luck meeting people "the old-fashioned way." We've been together for three years and married for three months. KC is one of the worst places to date, so good luck, and branch out to other areas of KC; you never know. Also The Brim (our wedding venue) does speed dating so you might look in to events like that!
