Has anyone ever married or gotten in a long term relationship from a dating app?

Yes. My late husband and I met on a dating app. We took it s-l-o-w and it was well worth the wait!

Made it 1 year once so not really a long time but better than just one or two dates 🤣

I don't understand how you can get to know anyone by swiping left or right.

Where is the lengthy text?

Now there is a chance over private messages. Yet to get to that point is far worse than actually physically dating anyone for the first time.

They don't even encourage lengthy about me's! And if it's there at all, it's all one block of text copied from some unsecured blog page which is not even searched by ANY search engines.

It's why I don't pay attention to long blocks of text on here! I don't want to know anyone that can't write a five sentence paragraph or less, because it's just copied and pasted off of such unsecured sites.

@DeWayfarer When I had used dating apps you had to actually send a message through the system. The swipe left and right stuff came later. I honestly can't do the swipe thing without seeing a whole profile. A photo and a couple brief sentences that fit on a phone screen without scrolling is just to shallow an introduction for me.

@ViciDraco still it's very short, and very likely one block of text.

I have been on other sites. They do discourage long text. Mostly to give the scammers a chance.

The last site I was on a year ago they limited the number of private messages. Something like 5 a day. And no replying back.

So how can you do any kind of conversation? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not from a dating app.
Yes from a kind of social site.

Not from a dating app but from a dating website which is more or less the same thing.
It still involved thousands of attempted chats, numerous first dates that came to nothing before I met my wife to be. So, Yes it can happen but it’s certainly not a silver bullet to meeting your future wife or husband.

plenty of people say they have but i bet its a lot of lots of try try agains and unpleasant meetings beforehand lol. prolly takes a lot of grit and extreme luck to meet someone you click with enough for that
Honestly [media=https://vocaroo.com/1djNZcOG8dFl] '
Makes me think of what they used to tell me: You'll never find it if you're looking for it.

FUCK the direct path. Going to take a Winding one.

No dating app are for entertainment purposes only or booty calls, if you want a real long term relationship you need get offline and get out.
dancingtongue · 80-89, M
Well, I wouldn't exactly call it a dating app but my late partner of 10+ years and I met online before she moved in with me.
Long story short I've totally quit the apps and won't use them even if I do use the internet to find love.
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
I know someone who has. It hasn't even been a year yet, though maybe let's not rejoice too soon. Just sayin'

11 years that started from a dating app. I think women have it tougher though because of the sheer number of men that use them just to try and get laid.
Our marriage predated dating apps, but happened around social media's infancy
