Dear anita and Rose of Yellow,

Thank you for your answers.

I’ve been using some dating apps for a few years. I would delete the apps and eventually download them again a few months later. I actually had some dates but there was always something wrong. I think that the nature of dating apps itself has something to do with that. For instance, I have a male friend who had many one night stands and he used a dating app once. He said to me that he didn’t like it, that it didn’t work for him, that he didn’t get matches and dates. It’s all about looks ! A good looking guy can be unsuccessful with those apps just because he does not have pictures of him that put him in the spotlight or draw some attention.

Plus, some dates can be very awkward when you realize that you don’t like the other person because of something that you could not know on an app (tone of the voice, gestures, the way her face moves when she speaks…).

So I’d rather try and meet girls when I’m with a group. This is something that I never really had the chance to try so I’m up to it.

By the way, I moved today to my flat. I have to say that it’s a strange feeling. It’s a mix of fear and excitement. I hope I won’t feel too lonely.

Daniel
