Let's talk dating apps with Lumen

I'm very lazy on them, match with a few people but am too lazy to meet anyone

I haven’t used one personally but they can be a good way to meet people. You have to be very careful and realise not everyone is who they say they are online.

NOT FOR ME IM AFRAID. RECKON FULL OF WRONG UNS

Never used a dating app. Don't trust them. Prefer to meet people with similar interests in groups via Meet Up, and take things from there. Purpose to enjoy my hobby, extra benefit a potential friendship built over time.

Not tried any apps yet. Have tried online dating previously with mixed results. ?

I think that you have to do a lot of research and read feedback to ensure that you are using the dating app that suits what you are looking for.

I think that in this day and age they can be a good idea. I know people who have met their partner on dating apps. I think that people need to make sure they are safe, don't meet at a bar where alcohol is involved, meet somewhere public and let someone know where they are and who they are with.

I've never tried a dating app. I don't think I would entirely trust the idea of getting to know someone on line rather than in person. That said never say never.......

I think that they can be helpful for some people - people who don't have an extensive social network or who are busy working.

I'm happily married, but don't like the idea of this, too easy for people to create a false identity.

BEWARE, after being on certain internet site, for about 4 months, had two people message me different times for several weeks, business men, then suddenly they go abroad and need MONEY. Well they didn't get it off me! Met three people, separately, all they wanted was hot food cooked by me, and blind date not really interested at all in me, only themselves.
I would say DONT be lead on by these internet daters - not too many people are genuine!

i've never used a dating app and never would. People can pretend to be anyone onlie. I'd prefer to meet someone through friends or friends of friends

I haven't been brave enough to use a dating app and not sure I would. I hear horror stories about how rude people are and just don't think I'd want to set myself up for failure.

I really think that it's best to get to know someone first before you start dating them.

I've never tried it and I hope I never need to!

I have never used dating apps, although I know a few people who have met their partners on dating apps and are now happily married!

I have no interest in dating again but accept they are a useful tool for those that do want to find someone to share their life with

They're easy to use but I haven't found anyone on them who really sets my world on fire! I'm staying away for the time being as I am happily single.

I know a lot have people like to use dating apps and they have successfully paired thousands of couples, but it's not for me. I couldn't think of anything worse than being judged, or judging someone, from a photo & a short description, and then meeting an, almost, complete stranger for a coffee, dinner as, basically an interview for a relationship.

Maybe i'm old school, but i prefer face to face meeting, apps are still great.

We have just celebrated our Golden Wedding this summer after meeting on a blind date arranged by a friend for me to get free driving lessons as I was a penniless newly qualified teacher. Although I knew nothing about him like the people on dating sites I did trust my friend's judgement so did not go into it totally blind. After reading all the negatives in the media about dating apps I know I would never have the nerve to use them!

I would definitely not use them I would be too scared. I was widowed at 36 years and divorced at 50 years so I think I will just stay in the house now,

Dating apps are not necessarily a bad thing, but a lot of the people who use them are time wasters. I had 2 different people trying to catfish me at one point and then plenty of others who I had big conversations with and then out of nowhere they just stopped speaking. No reason why either. I found more luck offline

no never used an app, not got any need to. but my cousin tried one and had an awful experience

Why not, it can't be any worse than the old adverts people used to put in newspapers haha.
With the internet and social media the world seems a lot smaller than it was when I was growing up so I guess there's a lot more opportunities now for people of every age to meet lots of new people.

I think they're fabulous! A lot of my family have met their partners using dating apps and are now happily married with children!
