In probably the best outcome I could have hoped for, had a nice short date with the boytoy today and had an easy, clean mutual break up :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Mild details )

It was a big relief, hard conversations like that scare me and I was nervous going into it, but once it was over (very smoothly without having to disappoint/hurt someone), I was practically skipping home in joy XD.

Anyways, back to the single life.... I will probably get back on the dating apps sooner or later, but gonna chillax for a bit. I still want to lure my friends out swing dancing so we can all meet ppl there in a more casual/relaxed way, but who knows what will happen? At the very least I feel very relieved and free now <3.

I Have Gotten On A Dating App.

I vowed to myself I would get on a dating app by the end of March. Well, it's a few months late, but better late than never! Ended up going with Hinge, as a lot of my friends have recommended it as being the app that has garnered the most success (though the success seems to be long-term relationship type, which like... I might be into, but I might want to shop around a bit... we'll see what happens).

Set to all genders at first, which ended up being overwhelming as there are a lot of men in the city who like women, so inundated with likes. And those I matched with were very responsive in communication. Eventually I changed my settings to women and nonbinary just to get some balance, but those conversations have been slower.

It's been both fun and overwhelming to be texting so many strangers; I think I need to practice some more restraint...

But now I have two dates this weekend!

Oooh who are they? What are they like?? )

Wish me luck as I bravely venture forth into romance! It's my first time dating in several years, and my first time actually going through a dating app (and dating as like, an adult-adult rather than a high school or college student). Aaaack I'm nervous but trying to stay hype!
