‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

Depending on the context, my partner and I don’t like sharing that we met on an app either.

I had a girlfriend that I met on a dating app and her mother was really hung up on the whole dating app thing. She never liked it if we told people that we met on a dating app.

So we both started coming up with ridiculous stories about how we met. I think at one point we claimed that my girlfriend was a Chinese mail ordered bride despite her not being Chinese and having red hair. Used to do it with a straight face too, used to really confuse people.

The only app that people have been hesitant to tell me they met is PoF. Although I’ve never met anyone who’s volunteered that they met on fetlife and you know, statistically speaking, some people must have.

Well, I like to say me and my partner met online, then add it was actually a music sharing site. If I decide to troll a little, I change the last part to “a BDSM forum”.

If y’all met at a brothel or while at the Jan 6th rally, I’d get it. I don’t get it for most other things though.
