Tell that to the millions of people who met long-term partners only because they used dating apps. I met mine on an app and now we have a kid together. We don't have overlapping friend groups, and although we share hobbies we didn't do them in the same areas.

What a boomer-ass sounding comment. Most of my friends met their partners on Tinder or Bumble, and so did I. For people in more rural areas, shy people, or mid-life relationship-seekers/divorcees, dating apps are the absolute most efficient way of meeting people you wouldn’t otherwise normally get to. Bot accounts may be a problem, but not everywhere, and not for everyone. Personally, I can’t recommend dating apps enough. Boosted my confidence, made me better at conversation, allowed me to be pickier in my choices, and found me my soul mate.

I live in a tiny ass town where the only two ways people socialize with strangers is drinking and maybe gambling and even then this is not a very social area. I am a currently sober alcoholic and even if I liked gambling I don't have the money for it. Thoughts on how I can date 'correctly'?
