I'm a girl, almost 24 years of age, and everyone around me is getting engaged, married, pregnant. As recently as 3 years ago my ex best friend and I used to drunkenly cry over men who hurt us, and now she has a baby and apparently also a husband as of 2 weekends ago.
Not that I'd like to get married before I'm 25, but it would be nice to be in a relationship. Problem is I'm home a lot. Only time I'm outside is when I go to uni (my classes are with 2 other girls though, so no meeting a guy there lol), walk my dog, or go to the mall. My hobbies don't require going out.
I'm not obsessed with finding a man. "Love yourself before you love someone" – nope, not me, I already love myself quite a lot. I just *want* a boyfriend, because *why not*. My thing is I've lived in my city since I was born, and when it comes to dating I'd prefer a foreigner. Not in a fetish way, I just feel more comfortable talking the romantic stuff in english, expressing emotions related to romantic connections in english. Saying anything romantic in my native language cringes me.
So I thought about downloading dating apps, my main app of interest is Bumble. Although I'm aware of the reputation around dating apps, desperation, sex without commitment, all that stuff. But I've been wondering, maybe it's possible to find a meaningful relationship on dating apps?
