I’ve made the hard decision to delete my dating apps. I just couldn’t justify having to pay $50 a month just to have a better chance of getting matches, and I feel like nowadays the dating apps prevent one from finding a quality match since they lose a customer if so. I feel much better, they were Affecting my mental health in a negative way. Dating apps were much better a decade or so ago, now they have just been commodified to make you pay an arm and a leg just for a remote chance to find someone, which is like winning the lottery.

I haven’t met anyone irl either, I have a crush on a friend, so I may see if she feels the same way, or get back with my ex gf who I dated a year ago. If the two former things do not work out, I plan on giving up on at least the dating apps, if not dating, for a pretty long time.
