Yeah online dating sucks. There are plenty of, sorry to say it, fruit loops, on there. If I had just left a cult, I hope I'd go straight to a therapist!

I'm taking a long break from it and not sure if I ever want to try again. It seems like the only way in this day and age, although I did meet my ex at a bar.

Every time I try OLD, I try to get something out of it, even if it's not a partner. Last person I spoke to from there shared some great music (and I gave him some recs). Before that, met some people that it didn't work out with, but now they're in happy relationships - it has been nice to see :)

I recently went to the birthday party of an acquaintance, and she had friends there that she met from OLD apps.

It does seem like it's the only way. Doubly for me because I don't socialise or do anything in social circles.

I'll take a break from it and focus on other things.
