I deleted all my dating apps six months ago, and here’s how my life has changed

Six months ago, I made the decision to delete my dating apps, which I had been using on and off for a atic or terrible had happened. In fact, Patrick, the man from Hinge whom I’d been dating just before deleting the app, was kind, intelligent, and in many ways what I’d look for in a partner. In fact, it was for him that I deleted Hinge and Bumble, my then-dating apps of choice, at the beginning of the year. Because I’d lost the appetite for ‘chatting to’ the best hookup sites multiple people at once – who even has the time? – and I figured I could always download the apps again if we were to break up.
