Tried the Bumble app today

Tweet

I am tired of sitting here by myself all weekend long so I thought I'd try a "dating" site. After all, that's how I met my husband 17 years ago. A bartender at the local hangout told me that Bumble was the way to go a couple of weeks ago so I decided to download it to my phone to see what it was all about. You have options--to find dates, friends, or network for business. I set up a profile and then checked it out. It seems to be like Tinder where you swipe left or right depending on your interest or non-interest in the person. You can see their profiles, pictures, and where they live. I got an immediate "match" or whatever you call it and I thought it was interesting that only the female can send a message initiating a conversation. It has to be within 24 hours or the "match" disappears. I've also gotten 50+ "swipe rights" which means that people are interested in me. Of course, I'd have to pay to see who they are. I don't know if I'm going to do that. It is nice to see, though, that more than a handful of men find me attractive enough to attract their interest. Have you heard of Bumble? I hadn't until someone told me about it.
