I’m 32 and started dating online after a breakup during COVID. I made all the rookie mistakes—posting perfect selfies, ignoring bios, swiping out of boredom. It didn’t work.
What changed things was when I got honest. My profile said: “Divorced, learning to love again.” Suddenly, real people showed up. My best advice: don’t chase validation; chase connection.
Also, video chat early. Don’t waste weeks texting someone who’s not serious. And never be afraid to block or unmatch—your peace matters more than politeness.
I met someone amazing on an app last year. It’s still new, but real. Honesty was what changed everything. Don’t perform—just show up as yourself.
