Let's talk dating apps with Lumen

I think they are a great way to meet people as long as you don't set your heart on meeting Mr or Mrs right

I've used them in the past & found they're full of time wasters & lots of fake profiles but quite a few of my friends have met people through them & are now happily married with children

I haven't personally used them but my friend / old boss did and he met his partner who he has been with for several years now. I don't think he would have had the opportunity to meet someone so suitable 'in real life' so it's been a great thing for him.

I think it's a good way to meet new people - I personally do not use them as I am happily married. But if it works for you go for it! Just be safe!

I've never used one. I don't think I would if I found myself single. It seems rather clinical and there's so much room for people bending the truth to outright deceit that they must be a minefield. That said, I know people for whom they've worked wonderfully so they can't be all bad!

i think they are useful for people but they are fraught with people who are less than desirable. its hit or miss but i do know success stories so i think its worth a try

Use them in the past and not very amused by the results so...Pass...

Personally Im not a fan of dating apps. They scare me as you have no real idea of whom you are meeting.

I think the idea is fantastic for those who need it. I've not used one but many friends have and the key is finding the right one for you.

I'm in a long term relationship and hope to be for many years to come. But if I wasn't I don't think I'd use dating apps. Too much B/S. I don't know that I'd bother with relationships unless it just happened!

In the past I used a few websites but didn’t have a lot of luck and was put off by inappropriate messages (and pictures). Ended up meeting DH on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend, although I have friends who’ve used online dating websites and apps with good results.

I now feel old!! Dating apps!! Nope not for me. Fortunately I am happily married however if my situation was to change I would prefer the old fashioned methods of meeting someone through social events which make you go out and meet new people.

I haven’t ever used them and if I was single I think I would be too scared. I am unsure as to how trustworthy the whole experience would be.

I met my partner through an online dating website so I am all for them :D I found success and I know many other married or long-term couples who have, too. As long as you are safe and careful, I think they're a wonderful way to meet people you otherwise probably never would.

An app of last resort.

I havent been brave enough although my friend has had great success through a dating site

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.

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

Dating apps, a great idea but an absolute minefield.

Meat market

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.

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

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 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.

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