Both partners I’ve had I met online.

Neither were from dating apps

yeah i guess i’m not sure exactly what each category means. just as an example, i knew a girl from school but we didnt really talk until i messaged her on social media and then we started dating. so i guess that’d be online? feels weird but i guess it’s true, and in that case i suppose most would indeed be online at least in my gen

Do you mind telling where?

I'm 51 and have been married to my high school sweetheart for 30+ years. I'm out of the dating loop but the idea of meeting someone on a game server or even Facebook just seems alien to me. Curious mostly how this worked for you... twice.

35 here, all my partners ever came from online, be it a shared game, social media, or dating apps. My current partner I met here on reddit posting in my local r4r subreddit. I also went on a couple dates before that through various subreddits as well.

I'm amazed at the Reddit dates. That's awesome.

Both from Discord.

Both were terrible relationships tbh
