I am a recent single mum, and I haven’t dated in 15 years. I am not ready yet, but I am actually curious - is there any actual success stories from Tinder?
Or is it all fuck boys?

I’ve never been on it myself but have had a friends end up with someone long term. It’s not for me. Think I’d need to meet someone through someone else.
Tinders purpose is casual hookups, you are literally choosing someone based on looks so yes it is full of people who only want sex because thats what its for. I've heard of people "accidentally" catching feelings and end up in long term relationships which is lovely but thats not what people use it for. Try another dating app that is more for getting to know someone before meeting that way you can get rid of the guys that just want sex if you delay meeting them, they get bored and move on. Keep your picture nice, not sexual or you give the wrong impression and will only attract guys that just want sex. Don't mention you have kids in your bio and be wary of guys that ask more questions about your kids than they do about you. A simple do you have kids, how old are they is fine, they are general things people ask but beyond that be careful. Have fun and don't get your hopes up too early with anyone just keep things slow and casual. I met my partner on Plenty of Fish 7 years ago so there are some good guys on those sites you just have to weed through some crap to find them.
Thank you
I navigated the online dating world lol. Eharmony if you want something pretty serious and Tinder if you want some f boy. Plenty of Fish is the inbetween. Some of the men on there are still only wanting one thing or are weirdoes but you can weed them out a little.
So write to them for a while first. Do not put your real name and do not tell them where you live! I went on a date with a man and made this mistake and he started stalking me. So meet up at a mutual place for at least a few times so you can suss him right out.
The important part is to remember to practice saying no to anyone or anything that is not for you. Some will get offended and launch personal attacks after a date if you say you do not think it will work out. They are the red flag guys and you need to keep saying no or just delete them.
I spoke to a man for over a year on there before finally meeting him. We are still together 6 years later. When you know, you know 🥰
I met my husband on Hinge three years ago. Give it a go!
Depends on what you are after….. I wanted privacy and a relationship so went on eharmony and had a few dates. Nothing serious yet. Ive been too scared to go on tinder but heard POF is quite ok. Also depends on where you live
I met my other half on Tinder!! We have been together for 6 years and it’s such a healthy relationship. I would have never met him ‘in the real world’ as our lives just wouldn’t have crossed.
