I found my current partner of 2 years on bumble. I was on the site for a month.

I sometimes wonder if people just have too higher expectations, waiting for 'the one'. Relationships are hard. You have to work through differences, you can't expect to find someone where differences are absent.

I'm not pro marriage per se, but I think we need more, work on the relationship you have, rather than ending it and looking for something better.



Many people I know who have converted a match to a stable relationship (at least one side) were completely green to the apps when it happened. For many it was one and done. And my best experiences were with completely green folks. I think the rest of us are cynical and that is a bad quality while dating.


Would you say that the cynicism or just you, or a general thing?

I stated my hypothesis as 'expecting too much' but I'm not particularly wedded to that specific hypothesis.

It's just my observations suggest it isn't just the apps per se.

I'm not blaming you btw. It's just you aren't going to find a solution if you're looking at the wrong thing.
