No, we just kinda stumbled into each other in social situations and went from there.
That's how I ended up finding any decent relationship. Tried the app thing for a bit, which was mostly fun for hook ups, but awful for finding any kind of actual connection.
Probably not a coincidence the app doesn't work out. They earn money as long as people stay on the app, so you finding a long term partner is bad for their business, so they want you to keep dating.
Those of us who are right on the cusp (let's say 95-99) all use the apps but end up finding partners irl instead anyway. Either that or not at all. Just not on the apps.
