I waved goodbye to online dating

I made this decision to never do online dating again just recently. This was actually an easy decision and did not take much thought process. There is no online dating site/app anymore that is a not a hookup site. When this online dating thing first started people used it to meet their forever and have a meaningful relationship. I am truly happy for those that did find love online and didn’t have to go through site after site. Now a days I hear so many people in their late twenties say how hard it is to find someone to be with. I am one of those people and its honestly harder than I ever thought even before this pandemic. I just tried one more dating site and I went into it not expecting anything because I knew disappointment would be my emotion. Day after day it became scrolling through endless men, and slowly realizing this isn't going to work. I am a women in my late twenties that wants a meaningful relationship and there is no one that I saw that wants that. Unfortunately, a huge amount of profiles were guys that wanted hookups, friends with benefits, and some couples looking for a third. Some profiles had terms on their bios that I had to look up the meaning and just ended up being disturbed and shaking my head. Some guys even wrote that they wanted to have sex then see if there was chemistry. What happened to getting to know someone before clothes went flying? I am looking for a meaningful, forever, epic love story that lasts forever not one night stands. I know I am not the only one that wants this. I became frustrated, discouraged and just disgusted by all these profiles. All this was doing was making me miserable. All I could think about was my relationship status and maybe something was wrong with me. When I deleted my profile instant peace came over me, and that negativity fell off me. It had such a negative affect on me. I realized that I had better things to do and wanted to be happy. I waved goodbye to online dating and put all my trust in God for that epic forever I'm looking for. Oddly enough it gave me a sense of freedom. Till next time! S.
