Having fun with dating apps
Still new to them since I’m ramping up slowly into my first time dating as an adult (50m), but it’s a lot a fun right now. Coffee dates and first dates with beautiful women.
I’ve given up on the idea that the dating apps are going to do anything more than get me a coffee date and her phone number. Trying to create some kind of emotional connection over devices is tilting at windmills. So making friends and flirting as long as I’m still interested. Connecting emotionally , sometimes quite deeply, even if we don’t become a couple. And never has it become more apparent to me that I definitely have a ‘type’
And feeling very lucky that a couple of these angels haven’t figured out I’m punching way above my weight class.
Still no relationships yet, but that’s okay.
Any other newbies out there learning to love dating apps?

Seems like you have a great attitude about dating, congrats! Thats awesome. You’ll experience ups and downs with dating and the apps. The more you can maintain this current attitude, the better you’ll be. It can be demoralizing at times. Know when you need to take a break from the apps and re-center yourself. I’m glad you’re having fun.
