We would like to hear from people who have recently quit using online dating apps about how that is going.
If this is you, tell us: what caused you to delete the apps? Was there a specific trigger, or did you make your decision after a period of mulling it over? Which apps were you using and how long for? What were your experiences like with them?
Have you been dating offline since leaving Bumble or Tinder, and if so, how is that going? How easy, or challenging, have you found it to meet people? Have you considered going back to the apps, or have you sworn them off for good?
