I probably will. It's not that I don't want to but more so I am just not there yet. I found out my fiance slept with someone when we broke up for a couple of weeks, so I am in the process of a messy thing but will be out there dating eventually. I haven't been single for 8 years and oddly, it does seem like things have changed. I just want to hear general stories. One night stands were so taboo back in the days and it just seems so casual now.
Sorry to hear that happened. Obviously it'll take time to acclimate after a long time on the shelf. You're a smart guy and will figure out a lane pretty quick.
All these platforms are what you make them. I've used Tinder, OKC, and Hinge. The rhythm of Tinder and Hinger are not unlike being at a bar. If you don't get a number or make a date pretty early on in the chat, it's probably not going anywhere. OKC's pace is a bit slower, and you might trade some longer messages before moving forward.
I haven't used them for a quick hook up, but plenty of people do. I wouldn't worry about it, because the process self-selects pretty well. I'm at a point where I know what I like and don't need to sample the way I used to. Not everyone is doing the high volume thing.
Also, there are hookers on tinder. If all the photos look really professional, she's probably a hooker.
