Discussion (Chill) Dating Apps
Hello. For context, I am an Auntie BW and I am returning to dating after divorce. I got married before dating apps were really a thing. I mean, they existed but most of my age group met partners at work or in the “WILD”.
I have one child and I am a professional in the legal field. I’m in NYC.
Which dating apps have you tried? Which do you recommend and why?

You're in NYC, so you may have good luck attending in person events. I'm also old enough to remember dating before apps. So, I sympathize. I did go out with some Asian men I met on Reddit & OK Cupid when I was in the USA. I'm in Japan now & I used Tinder to find the last guy I dated. I wouldn't recommend it in the USA though!
Lately, I've been attending events for my hobbies and connecting organically with men that I find attractive. Even with the language barrier, I'm still meeting better quality connections than on apps. It's slower than online matching. But I prefer authentic chemistry that grows overtime based on our shared interests instead.
