Female reporting about online dating.
I met my boyfriend from Tinder and we've been together for over a year now. Things are pretty dandy, I was single for 2 years prior. Honestly, it's a numbers game. Not in the sense of getting numbers, but in terms of actually finding someone worth your while.
One of my girlfriends are on Happn and just went on a great first date yesterday.
People have 'online personas' so to speak, and there's enough patterns that you can start making 'educated guesses' on what type of person is on the other side of the convo. Whether or not you and the girl can create compelling and engaging conversations that you actually really dig, beyond just 'getting to know each other'. Little actions speak plenty, esp when given the limited opportunities you get to do prior to meeting someone.
ie. Prior to meeting, BF called me on my phone everyday while I was sick to see if I was alive (aka how I was doing). Called me and asked me out on first date while I was crying over a book.
Don't spend a ton of money on every girl, but if there's a girl you're really digging that's being really receptive - then sometimes going old school are show-stoppers now (ie. Calling someone or.. getting picked up on first date. I got picked up. It was memorable. I used to normally meet the guy somewhere due to safety and how comfortable I am).
