Addicted ti dating apps

    This seems like such a stupid problem but I'm beginning to think I have a problem with dating apps/websites. Like how some people are addicted to facebook. I check them impulsively and get upset when I don't get likes or messages even though 90% of the messages I receive don't interest me. Then I waste time trying to think up replies for these guys, convincing myself that I should give them a chance when in reality I think I just want them to keep giving me attention. I often delete my accounts but can really only last a week before going back on. I always convince myself that it'll be different this time or I might actually get something from it but I never do. I feel like giving up on them completely would be a bad idea too though because I genuinely do want to meet someone and while it'd be much more romantic to meet them in real life I don't see it being very likely.

    I don't really know what I expect to gain from posting this but I though someone might have some insights.

    Have you actually met any lads from it?

    Maybe set yourself a goal of meeting one guy every 2 weeks/month or whatever you feel comfortable with. Meet in a public setting for a coffee or a couple of drinks. You have zero to lose and plenty to gain.
