Jack Herlocker. Re above: I think there are some success stories, but not sure what the (real)stats look like. In my case, I think we were lucky. My guy and I call it winning the dating lottery.
Too funny. Early on( in Medium writing days)I wrote a story about exactly that and submitted it to P.S. I love you. BZZZZZZZ. Reject! I have been sitting on it since. I think I get the source of the reject so want to do some more work on it.
Back to dating apps. Lucky for us we met just before Tinder started taking off. So we were using one of the ( sort of)old school sites. eHarmony, to be exact. Tinder was, if not the first, almost the first dating app that eliminated much of the reading and interaction in favor of swiping till you found a photo you like. Yup. Very deep.😊
Bottom line. Doesn’t matter how we met our mates. All four of us are happy and lucky people.
