So i’m 19 and I go to community college where there’s obv little socialization. I haven’t dated anyone in about 4 years cause I haven’t crushed on someone in a long time (during quarantine esp I was not taking to guys at all) . My friends at university seem to lowkey all get action and boyfriends I feel extremely lonely/I feel behind. My friends have been suggesting me to try out Hinge or other dating apps. I never EVER considered dating apps before bc I did not want to seem desperate but my friends tell me it’s not shameful to have an account. I’m deadass afraid of being called a h03 for having an account but dating apps feel like my only option now. I feel like i’m losing self respect going on the app but I don’t want to miss out on having fun like everyone else and meeting people while i’m still young. Do people actually have long lasting relationships on hinge? Would doing hook up’s be bad for my self esteem? I’ve already made my profile but i’m just waiting to hit the unpause button to reveal my account to others. any advice on my situation? or if u have dating app experience, is it worth it?
Would you judge someone if they ever had a dating app?
