Let's talk dating apps with Lumen

both of my children have met their partners through apps so yes I am happy with them, but youstill need to be careful however you meet someone

My experience of these sites hasn't been positive to be honest. I've had similar experiences to those that others have mentioned, and it makes me wonder if there was even a vetting process for some of these morons! A friend of mine married a man she met on a particular dating site but he reminded of a mass murderer so I 'm still not entirely convinced!

Worked for me but you have to have your wits about you. A little bit of common sense and it's a brilliant concept.

I'll be honest. I'm almost 59 and have bee divorced for over 35 years. I've had a couple of short relationships but never through an app. It's not something I would ever do. You have no idea if that person is being truthful or what could happen. To me it's a dangerous process and an unnatural one.

I really don't like the idea of dating apps and don't think I would ever use one

I have used some dating apps before. I found match was quite good with genuine people. The free ones such as tinder or POF I feel are too easy to create false profiles

I've never tried a dating app. I did 'meet' my husband online, but we got chatting on a general interest forum, not through an app!

I think if I was single I probably would try an app - you surely have more chance of meeting that special someone by casting your net in the biggest pond - and if you exclude dating apps, then I'd think you're massively reducing your odds of finding 'the one!'

Not tried dating apps ...yet!

I think they have their place, but, I prefer to the old fashioned methods, you know like actually talking/meeting people in person!

I think they are a great idea for everyone. It seems to be how the youngsters do it nowadays.

Makes things easier but I would not use them unless I couldn't do it through being out and meeting people!

I think they are a fab idea. Although having seen the film The Good Liar there are lots of precautions that need taking. They can be a great way to widen your social circle though and are a way of finding new companions.

I met my husband through a dating app, so think they are totally amazing! There are of course some dodgy people on there, but as I discovered also some amazing people!

I think as long as you are sensible about it then I see no reason not to use them if you're free and single it's a great way to meet people you would never meet in every day life.

A lot of people with fake profiles and people lying about their age and the majority of photos are filtered. Lots of people hiding behind snapchat filters. I don't want to date anyone with a squirrel's nose, whiskers and kitten's ears.

They can be great for some people, but I don't think I'd trust them enough to use them myself

luckily i'm happily married although i do think dating apps are a good way for older people to meet up

I like dating apps because you can get to know a lot of people who you wouldn't have met otherwise, however, I still think meeting someone face to face is better.

I personally have no need for one, but I do know people who have married after meeting on a dating app, however, it’s not something I would do, you never know what these people are really like and I worry after hearing a few horror stories

I think they work for some people. It can be easier to talk to new people online rather than face to face

I've not used one, but some of my friends have. I think that they are quite effective, and probably a much easier way to meet people.

Meat market

Dating apps, a great idea but an absolute minefield.

I am happy being single so it is hard to judge. I don't like the idea but if I wanted a partner it is another tool I suppose

I think dating apps are brilliant so good for people who don't have time for the dating scene, however I think there needs to be stricter joining regulations. Although you see a lot of people saying they have met their all time love, I personally have not met a woman that has joined any of these sites and not been conned by a married man.
