I don’t know how many of you have ever been on a dating app, but I have been – and I broke up with them. I tried both Bumble and Tinder multiple times, but now I’m done with them both because I realized that I hate them. They didn’t make me feel good, and I decided to delete both of my accounts for good. I am not saying that you should do so by any means because you can do whatever your heart desires. I decided to share this story because dating apps have become more prominent in this generation.
For me, I simply do not like being on dating apps, probably because I don’t feel connected to anyone I match with. I also find them scary if I am completely honest with you. Being on dating apps may not be suitable for me, and I am pretty accepting of that. Usually, the term “breakup” has a negative connotation, but it does not have to be something negative. Breaking up with dating apps has been positive and makes me feel so much better.
As I mentioned before, I have been on both Bumble and Tinder more than once. I would download them, delete them, then go and redownload them again. Ultimately, I have decided to remove them off of my phone completely and make sure my profiles are entirely gone. It feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders – it feels freeing. My story will not be the same for everyone and that’s okay. I know that many people meet their partners and live beautiful lives together after meeting on dating apps. For example, I have a friend who met her husband on Tinder and has been married for a while now, and they are happy together.
Being on dating apps did not make me feel good which could be for several reasons that I am still trying to figure out. I am not in a rush for anything, and if something happens then it happens. I am okay being on my own for now. Remember, you should do whatever makes you happy and not let anyone bring you down or give you hell for it! As long as you have a sound support system and can be okay with being a support system for yourself, you have nothing to worry about.
