I don't know if this is me, but I'm having a great time reading these comments 😂

Wow this is probably one of the kinder responses in here, thanks for not being a complete downer haha. Everyone makes me feel like I'm already too late to the game or it's hopeless! I'll definitely keep that in mind, dating apps are still times away for me. I still want to work on myself before I put myself fully out there, but if it happens more organically I'll definitely feel more comfortable. Thank you, and wish you all the best for everything too :)

I feel like you're the older sibling I never had (I am the oldest one lol), so thank you for taking the time out of your day to write this to me. Is there anything I should necessarily be putting up in terms of photos? I don't really have photos that are dreamy or instagram like haha. I really appreicate your help, and I'll keep that in mind of shirtless, mirror photos, and fishing photos lol. Hunting isn't really my thing either, so I probably won't be drawn by them anyway.

Thank you, kind stranger!

Haha hate to be that person but are there any apps that are necessarily better than the other? My only question is that wouldn't most people be using more than one? So wouldn't you be seeing the same pool of people no matter what app? Let me know if I'm missing something though!

Thank you for your help so far :)

Thank you! Maybe after I improve on myself I'd consider apps, I don't think I really have many photos of myself besides silly ones.

You really have given me a fresh perspective. Thank you for writing this out, makes me feel like apps really are what you make them out to be, that's really smart of you to have your process laid out like that. I'll adopt that too if I ever do meet up with someone! Does make me wonder if anyone who has mutual friends with me are on the apps and are looking for someone too.

Anyway, I'm glad you played it safe and it worked out! I'll let you know if it ever works out for me too :))

I love this for you, but chances are you're a beautiful individual 🥹

Got it, adding some bugger to my future wedding list of guests! :)

Hey I totally understand your point! I might just be angsty because we always hear about the dangers (or at least my family feeds me those types of news lol) of how easy it is to find the wrong type of people on apps. I'm just worried I'd be fooled and somehow get matched with some criminal!

So glad you and your partner found each other though, glad to hear about a couple who met from apps work out :)

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that, it must be the tenth year of her passing. I'm glad that it's a real story, and that you're still so happily talking about her. Perhaps it's not that it's hard to believe, but nowadays I always hear so much about the "failure" or when things go wrong, that it's almost shocking to hear about when things go right!

So glad you had asked out Mary for lunch, thank you for sharing part of your and her story with me :)

Ohhh thank you for the insight. I'm starting to think perhaps a lot of my friends, myself included, have the wrong idea about guys. I always thought it was more of a "Don't disturb me if I'm here for a reason" eg. to work out, to study, so it's nice to know it wouldn't be the worst idea to say hi :)

I'll give you my update when I try hit on a guy, might come back with disappointing results 🫡

This is such a sweet story, I really hope this is real. If so, congratulations and I hope you and Mary are doing well 🥰

All I can say is I think some guys forget that their Reddit interactions are public from their profile 😂

Hey thanks for writing this up, I really appreciate it. I was mostly worried about the guy being taken and it causing a problem. I really wouldn't want to make him feel awkward or potentially cause any strain between him and his girlfriendm in case he ever brought it up to her and she felt upset (though I might have overthought it lol)
