3 Month Hinge Update: It's Been Deleted

[@izzyirl7]

So random & I’m so surprised you’re in my recommended feed! I’m 25 and know that the dating apps can be tough

[@ashalia11]

I'm glad you and your feed found me!!!

[@KELLYKH]

Oof! EVERYTHING you said in this video resonates with me - the frustration of limited swiping, having a small amount of matches, not wanting to date someone just cuz he's there, enjoying your life but wanting someone to share it with, missing the boat, being lonely... I'm in the same situation as you! You seem awesome and I'm praying you find the man of your dreams top sweep you off your feet to Disney!

[@ashalia11]

I'm glad you can relate but it definitely stinks for both of us!! I'm praying for you too!! Here's to finding men in (hopefully) the near future!!!

[@karolinalinda5324]

Ashley. It is NOT just YOU. I lived in UK and Poland and I'm in exactly the same boat. I feel you. It's tough out there. Hold on. And on bad days reach out. We, your community got you. We know how it feels. Stay awesome, sending warm hugs xoxo

[@4kcu008]

Hey! Don’t have much to say other than that I love your videos, your energy, and just overall outlook on everything. I’m wishing you the best of luck 🤞 Enjoy the break!!

[@ashalia11]

Thank you so much!!! 🥰

[@aliner8165]

Some people think that we have to learn how to be alone first before finding someone, but I do believe that there are some people, me included, that want to have someone to share life with. I do understand what you are saying. I felt sad and could totally relate when you got emotional in the video :( I also don't think Disney is the best place to meet single straight men girl! hahahaha I was back and forth to these apps for years. I always thought it was a waste of time because there are only shallow talks, people take forever to respond, it is weird to meet them personally, but also swiping is addicting, so I always came back haha...then one day I was in the right place in right time when I met the love of my life. He was recent in dating apps and we found each other. It was just meant to be. I wish you find your love wherever he is! :) I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND, the internet doesn't have sincere people like you anymore.

[@ashalia11]

Hahaha!!! I know they aren't at disney!! Trust me, I've looked 🤣🤣 I'm so happy you found the love of your life on the apps!! It gives me hope!!! We can absolutely be friends!!! You can message me on Instagram if you want!! @ashalia11

@@ashalia11 Yey I just found you! @lineee1919

[@stephaniesharp8856]

I have given up on all dating apps too Ash!

[@chelsea3187]

The algorithm brought me here. Your personality is lovely 😊. I refuse to use dating apps. Unfortunately it’s hard to find people to date. Some people meet through work or friends. The last guy I dated was my local barista lol 😂. In college it was so easy for me to meet friends & boyfriends. I wish that carried over into adulthood. The struggle is real. If only we had Love Island for the general population 🤪.

[@ashalia11]

Yayy!! Im so happy you're here!! Such a good decision to not use the dating apps!! You aren't missing much!! The struggle certainly is real, we definitely need real life love island!! Maybe in the meantime I'll head over to Starbucks...haha!!!

[@NicoleAspen]

Hi! I just saw you in my recommended feed and I feel we like we’re so similar! I also love Disney and survivor 😊 I wish you luck on your dating journey!

[@ashalia11]

Yesss!! Disney and survivor are both great things to love!!! Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@martainroth2588]

I've been on Hinge for 9 months now, still have yet to get 1 match; I'm starting to women it all the women there are bots or are truly delusional that Brad Pitt is going to show up on their feed.

[@stephaniesharp8856]

I feel this a 1,000x. I also wonder if I'm too picky but yes Never Settle!

[@ashalia11]

Its so hard to know if its being too picky or not!! You got this girl, and so do I!!

[@sarahp8937]

Hello, youve popped up in my feed all the way here in Australia! I relaly believe rhe best way to meet people is through friends. Asking old friends, new friends etc if they know anyone single..

[@ashalia11]

Australia?! Thats so awesome!! I agree that friends are great people to ask!! I try to ask every once in a while if they have anyone for me!!

[@basicallymid]

I highly recommend listening to the Dating Intentionally podcast. It really helps me think about how I'm swiping and dating. Some of it is more helpful than others, but it puts a lot into perspective. She also recommends a few books about dating that, again, have helped me take the pressure off dating and really just enjoy the experiences.

[@ashalia11]

Thank you for the recommendation!! I will definitely check it out!!!

[@ItsBellum]

If have a great super nice actuallly kind hearted friend in Norfolk VA that I think yall would be a good match

[@ashalia11]

I love this!! Norfolk isn't super close but it's not super far either! I would love to hear more! Email me at [e-mail] or message me on Instagram @ashalia11

[@jamielee1354]

I know how you feel. I’m so sorry you have to go through it. I’m trans and it’s definitely difficult separating chasers vs genuine dudes

[@ashalia11]

I'm sorry you have to go through it too! Sending so much love and I hope you find that genuine dude who is meant for you soon!! 🩷

[@carolynj6144]

I know the cycle you’re talking about well lol I actually recently heard about a dating site for Disney lovers have you heard of that? I believe it’s called Meet Upon Main, but I also googled it and there seem to be a couple of them? Idk if you have to pay for them but that might be a cool idea! I definitely support your “break” part of the cycle if that’s where you’re at lol

[@ashalia11]

Yes! I have heard of it!! I have tried it but unfortunately most of the people live in Florida or Southern California so it's not ideal for me!! I still check it out from time to time!! Haha!!

[@carolynj6144]

@@ashalia11 oh man hopefully more people get on it soon, I feel like that would be such a good way to meet people!

[@ashalia11]

@carolynj6144 yes! I hope so too!!

[@megwilliams1218]

Disney and boy bands 😂 I love that. Do you like Hanson?

[@ashalia11]

I do like Hanson! I dont follow them but their music is always enjoyable!!

[@GenevaJculla15]

Have you tried different churches? I see you’re wearing a cross necklace

[@ashalia11]

I haven't tried churches in person, but I have tried some Christian dating apps and unfortunately, they seem to be worse than the mainstream apps. I was shocked to find this!!

[@stephaniesharp8856]

All of the men in my church are married. The dating pool in churches is not big at all.

[@adday.]

So you get an ADULT hobby. I need to not watch anymore of your videos, they just played on autoplay, but you are not doinganything about your problems ! At 40 years old!

[@nadjap5218]

Awww, stupid dating apps!! 😢 But you got this! I know he is out there somewhere! 🫂
