is swiping for love better than meeting at a coffee shop?

Dating apps are everywhere, but do they really beat meeting someone in real life? I tried both. Once, I matched with someone on an app and we chatted for days. When we finally met at a coffee shop, it felt a little awkward—like we’d run out of things to say before the coffee even cooled off. On the other hand, I once met someone at a park while walking my dog. We bonded over our pets and ended up grabbing ice cream. No pressure, no weird profiles, just two people talking. That felt way more natural to me. Dating apps can be great for finding people outside your usual circle, but sometimes it’s tough to know if you really click until you meet. My tip? If you use apps, try to meet up sooner rather than later. And don’t forget about real-life spots like parks, restaurants, or even your favorite bookstore. You never know who you’ll meet when you’re just being yourself. #datingapps #singlescene #datingtips #meetcute #RomanticRelationships
