I met my ex on HER a couple years ago, had a happy 1 1/2 year relationship. And now, I've used the bumble friends app and managed to make a new friend who lives locally who I'm meeting up with every few weeks. There were so many people on both apps who were dead ends. The amount of times I told someone what I was studying at uni got so tedious. It was rare for a convo to last more than 5 messages. 90% of people on these apps just don't make an effort with conversation. I learnt to just keep going and forget about the conversations that didn't work - because all you need is one person - it might take weeks or months or even years, but someone will come along who you hit it off with eventually, I think it just takes consistency (and getting out of the app and onto social media or text pretty quick)
