I got dating apps when I was 17, I’m now 27 and I’m so sick of it. It’s not like I don’t go out either, it’s just everyone is taken in my area. I’ve not met a single guy who is single all year.

This year it’s particularly hard as last year I finally had a boyfriend. It felt like such a relief to have one I loved him so much and it was nice to focus on family and friendships rather than always swiping.

Are dating apps quiet this time of year?

I’ve joined hinge and bumble but not getting any likes or replies. I’ve literally swiped past everyone in my area. Do people start using dating apps more in the new year?

I get a few matches on hinge but they don’t respond to my prompts and I’m so confused by this
