      Online dating is very much the norm. I have no idea how I’d meet a new partner without it (if I was in the market for one).

        I’d rather stay single than go into that online game again. It’s become too stupid for me. 10 years ago was probably the sweet spot.

          As I sit here happy and secure in my own relationship, I’m inclined to say I’d rather be single than online date. But if I actually found myself single before I’m even 40 I suspect I’d change my mind eventually - that’s a lot of life left to go through alone. And the only way I’d be likely to meet someone would be online, so needs must.

            I am single before 40 and I’m done. If someone falls in my lap I’m not going to complain, but other than that it’s just gonna be me, myself, and I fighting the good fight of life to the death.

      Met my wife online, though not on a dating app. It’s not all hopeless!

      Granted this was 6 years ago, but I met my now fiancée on bumble. It might be worse now, not sure

      It’s the best way to find a partner.

      And it’s basically the norm, like someone said. Been like that for many years.
