online dating for the first time during quarantine (I tried Hinge + what I learned)

#onlinedating #quarantine

[@BRBallin1]

What I hate is how I am expected to be passionate and express a lot of interest in someone yet be completely ok with them ghosting me and feeling emotionally detached from that

[@meralk28]

I have been ghosted while online dating. At first I used to take it very personal then I realised I took it very seriously due to my insecurities. Ghosting will happen to most of us,but whatever happens don't listen your self critic. Just think you are an amazing person and when you find the right person,you will understand why others didn't work out xx

[@stevebradley1331]

hi

[@evessunday5524]

Hi are you still a single

[@vanessaluk3734]

I feel like online dating has such a stigma to it but how else am I (a certified socially awkward person) gonna meet someone hahaha and honestly, dating apps have helped me a lot in having conversation and getting to know people with different backgrounds and it's super cool! But as someone who gets attached pretty quickly, I also got so many disappointments. Like having an amazing date or even dated someone for two months, thinking they would lead to somewhere good, but they end up not being what you expected is frustrating on so many levels. I guess that's why some people have an on and off relationship with dating apps, cuz it just gets tiring at a point.

These are such good insights about dating in general :’) I have just gone through a breakup and am dipping my toes back into dating (more in person, so it’s slower and even filled with more anxiety because intents aren’t clear) and I really needed to hear all these, about my past relationships and my journey ahead!

[@mel8416]

i normally never leave comments but i love this video and it really reassures me! love your thoughts on appreciating the feelings that come from the season of dating and embracing the uncertainty and vulnerability ❤️thank u so much for this 😭

[@hollyvuong1464]

I was talking to a guy for 5 days and then he ghosted me. :( As a first timer with online dating, your advice has really helped me get over him. I would love to hear more from you! Thank you! *subscribed!*

[@Rebekahkim94]

I hate being ghosted 🙁. Yes, def not worth it if they do. Thank you for your support!

[@rdag-gg]

sorry this happened, ghosting isn't cool

[@katrin6388]

he noticed you two werent compatible and did the coward move. dont feel bad about it...next time, dont get attached too soon (especially not through text) and talk to 2 or 3 guys at once!

[@nolanstutelberg3900]

@@katrin6388 to be honest, with online dating if you are talking to a lot of people at once, and decide to focus on one person or a few people, you just naturally stop responding to the others. The problem is when one person has a ton of options and the other person is super focused on the other person. Definitely talk to a few people at once and don't get too stuck on one person until you meet up or go on a date with them IRL

[@TopVillain]

Lol most people on dating apps have gf/bf and they just looking for a quick hook up and they just trying to feel you out. If you bring up topics about the future or marriage or relationships you can scare them away. And everyone is chatting with multiple people no attachment

Excellent Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Chiveard Having Date Framework (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind product for making any women beg to get your hands on them without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.

[@ellacaulfield9939]

Wow loved your mental approach to dating and being grateful for the butterflies

[@adaliavasquez6552]

I just feel weird about dating online. It feels as though you are shopping for a spouse. I feel that meeting people in person is much easier, since you get to know the whole person and not just their profile picture/texts. I've also had some somewhat unpleasant experiences on christian dating sites. I'm praying that God will bring the right man in person and I continue to put myself out there and seek first the Kingdom of God.

So you’re saying that it’s better for the Almighty Creator to hand you his Divine product, than for you to sort through the Spousal bargain bin in a Walmart. So God is your personal shopper.

[@Sezura]

Thank you for your wise words, Rebekah! I am having a similar experience. I find that friendship and taking the time to get to know someone is very powerful.

[@williambach2790]

Awesome way to look at it: the time to feel these feelings and it only has to work once. Being on dating apps is like a roller coaster. Helpful video!

[@rainforestchurch2936]

I resonate with being friends first a lot, but I'm wondering with dating apps when every conversation/interaction sort of has a preconceived notion of dating, how do I really develop a friendship with them? I feel like things seem very binary on the apps, and if they are not interested in your romantically, they are just friendzoning you

[@heatherhutchinson3625]

Great question. I think even when Rebekah says making friends first, the friendships might be on the more social/superficial level. For Rebekah, it seems that it is cool to meet different people, and that is sufficient for Rebekah and many people. For Rebekah, being friend is more utilitarian because it helps manage one's expectation so that one does not take things too seriously too early on and that one can enjoy the process of dating more.

[@ComeToMyCupcakeParty]

I agree with being friends first. Apparently hinge uses writing prompts, so the person would respond to your prompt (rather than swipe) and I feel like that could create a dialogue for friendship.

[@lukegibson9410]

Maybe you should put that in your profile. You have to put that you are looking for friendship.

[@artistevivien]

I like your positivity and wish I could have as much of it as you do! It just feels like I “missed my chance” to find the one in college. If I could go back in time, I would. Instead I pushed myself to work hard and get a job all the while ignoring the more important thing, it seems. (End rant)

[@oceanearth2243]

One thing to understand is; momentum is everything .... if the conversation dies for more than 2 days that match is 99% chance not going to respond ever again. Another: women control the whole game on who they ghost and lead on.

Hi Rebekah. I really love this video, it’s wholesome and give warm advice. I started online dating a couple weeks ago but haven’t really gone out or met up with anyone, these are all really warm advice cuz there is a lot of uncertainty, and the most important is to have a good mentality. 🌹

I’m trying Hinge for the first time, and I’m feeling very “inadequate” - almost every guy has these cool photos of their trips and adventures…and I’ve hardly travelled out of the province 😒 But it’s fun going through all the profiles! Times have sure changed since I last dated online - in the time of flip phones, if that’s any indicator of how long it’s been! I ended up marrying him, but we ended up separating after 15 yrs and 2 kids…Hoping that round 2 is forever!

[@lukegibson9410]

Men will not judge you on how adventurous you are. We are simpler, if a guy finds you physically attractive, there are very few things you can do wrong as a woman.

[@demisemedia]

My girlfriend and I are very different. She’s the youngest of 6 siblings while I’m the oldest of 5. Her family is still married (despite despising each other) while mine were never married (and no longer together). Her family immigrated from Laos while mine were born in California. She likes pop music. I like heavy metal & rap. We have a son together!! He’s 3 and we love him to bits. Even though our parenting style are a bit different we both “compromise” and understand that neither of us know everything about parenting, life, etc. Don’t take life too seriously or it will cause much more stress. Love & patience comes first. Arguing is ok, as long as it never turns into yelling and or physical fighting. As far as marriage goes.. we’ve brought it up from time to time. It’s a possibility later on down the road but we don’t believe it’s necessary at the current moment. Thanks! Great video btw

I feel like if u dont actually have a goal with dating ur gonna waste ur time. If you want to just meet people then meet people for friendship, ideally ur same gender. Trust, the relationships will last longer its worth more to just invest with friendships. If you want a relationship be honest with yourself dont pretend to be casual because ur afraid of failing if u admit what you really want.

Timing is so important. Someone can approach me and I’m like no thanks just because it’s a Tuesday but if they were to approach me on Thursday I would be open to it. So don’t be hurt if you get rejected just bad timing most the time

[@lalanotmyname5046]

Also taking it not to serious is a big Key you mentioned wich i also learned later on aswell, in the Past i would take eveything so serious and would believe every little Thing, but now its like different. Its very important to not take it too by Heart otherwise your Exceptions might get destroyed with that Person you had. Cause its true you never know that Person on the other side truly. ✨ Thats why i got my Points and my Rules so it wont turn into an Disaster.😌💯 And even if it does, the Option is still there to break it off with that Person. If you don't share the same Goals, Futureplans, Mentality, Lifestyle (If you are a Relationship Person or a Fuckperson), Likings its gonna be hard to get along with that Person.🤌🏻💯✨

Anything can happen. But dating app is like you can't exactly see someone to know if they are ok to understand further about. I am very inadequate myself. I don't hide that. I don't make up my height. I see many people (women) are pretty candid too. But, and I feel sorry, I can't like everyone and I have to swipe a lot.

This video did not really explain why it is worth it to go through all the feelings. Wouldn't it better to date with people whom you can trust and you can process feelings constructively with? Also, it is easy to say it is okay to make mistakes becuase you can learn something, but the video doesn't really say how one learns to be a better or more qualified person after mistakes; the video is more about moving on and keep trying. It seems to be a very lottery approach to dating.
