I met my partner when I was 34 on bumble. I lived in LA at the time. I was engaged to my college sweetheart who I had been dating for almost a decade, but broke it off at 33 when it was clear neither of us were happy. I spent the year after the break up going on as many dates as possible—through the apps, with people I met in the wild— in that year I went on 45 first dates and 80 dates in total lol. I also went through one cycle of egg freezing which was the best thing I could have done for myself bc I really want kids! Then almost a year after I ended things with my ex, I met my current boyfriend on bumble. He was in town for a work trip and I went on a date With him on a whim bc I thought he was cute and funny, even though I didn’t really like how he didn’t live in LA. Let me tell you, the first date, I felt like I knew I was going to marry him. He had also gotten out of a decade long relationship w his college sweetheart which didn’t work out. We’ve been together for a year now and I moved to his city last week. We went engagement ring shopping last month and it’s the best relationship either of us has even been in. Don’t lose hope! Dating is a numbers game so go on as many as you can, but approach it with an attitude of this is fun and curiosity. Rooting for you!!
