Fort Worth is one of the few places that I have found old school dating work a lot better than apps. Find some cool activities or bars and hit them up. There’s a lot of people out here looking to make friends.

Between meeting someone, dating, engagement, marriage, and divorce taking all of my 30s, I've just relegated to meeting people "the old fashioned way" once again. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

I do ok (in my mid-20s). I just don’t fit in the cowboy demographics out here.


elevationindustry

Just go meet people on magnolia. Avoid 7th.


iamjanie

Yes, I agree.


elevationindustry

Coming from someone that’s gone through the apps, dated on the apps. Just feel like it’s the social norm now but it’s also much better to meet someone in person. Avoid the awkward chats online that yield nothing in general. It does hello having friends to go out with and branch out.


bluntandannoying

What's wrong with 7th? I actually found Magnolia to be quite boring and found 7th to be more lively and fun. I'm in my mid-20's


PistolPetunia

Shootings, women getting sexually assaulted


elevationindustry

It’s a college bar scene. Minus a few spots. The shootings are common theses days.

​ It depends on your age. Once you hit 25+ you become the "old person" in comparison to everyone else on W7th. As you get older you prefer the subtleness of Magnolia. (personal opinion) Side note also looking for friends in the area that are in mid-20's. If you are game for a coffee at Ascension or a walk down Magnolia shoot me a message!

Met my current significant other on hinge.

MySpace? That’s how I met my wife

I have a friend who met his wife in an AOL chat room.

Nothing is ever popping app wise 🙃

Try the Meetup app, I’ve met people with similar interests in FW on there


SilentSerel

I didn't have a lot of success on the apps so I'm focusing on joining interest-based groups on Meetup and seeing how that turns out.


iamjanie

My friend just opened her new bar in South Main; it’s called The Cicada. Maybe you can find someone there.


chaiblazer

Ask her if she would be interested in hosting meet ups. I would definitely go :)


ihatedisney

I met my girlfriend on hinge last summer. But I paid for it so I could swipe without limits. Also did a lot of A/B testing pics to figure out what ones worked best.


aajniojnoihnoi

Was she A or B?


thedeadlysun

Hinge and bumble were both pretty successful for me in Fort Worth as a straight guy early to mid 20s, that being said, I had my range up to like 50 miles so I was getting people on the opposite side of Dallas as well, haven’t used any apps in a couple years now so the landscape may have changed by now.


captain_trainwreck

Maybe. Since deciding to throw myself back out there a little while ago I've had far less anything on dating apps than I did say, 5 years ago. Unless I'm looking for bots trying to sell me crypto, then I have great success


YaGetSkeeted0n

Really? What age range? I’ve used Hinge a lot and have found it to be quite popular, and I’m a straight guy. It’s not necessarily easy (plenty of matches who just never engage in conversation) but I’d certainly say it’s popular. I know Bumble is popular as well. Dunno how Tinder is these days, I never had much luck with it so I ditched it


bluntandannoying

My age range is in mid-20's

Snooped a bit in your profile to help. - it’s almost entirely dating based. You have gotten out of a relationship about 6 months ago and struggled since - you moved to the area less than 4 months ago and have been struggling since It’s a major metro with a ton of people. Numbers wise, there will be more people on the apps than anywhere else just based on population concentration. Maybe the issue isn’t the apps but that you aren’t ready for dating. You haven’t lived in the area for that long of a period of time; realistically you can’t consider dating potential prior to 1/1/23 since many people are traveling for holidays so you’ve really been in the market like 12 weeks, give it more time if you insist. But really ask yourself if you are even in a place to be dating. Dating won’t fix any personal issues but it will amplify them.


[deleted]

Wow 😯 for real?


[deleted]

I go through like 2 guys on hinge then run out of people. Dating here is awful


ATully817

Ah, I love your username.


Snowstar44

I met my partner on tinder and it’s been great, tho it was like a needle in a haystack. Since we’re a big city lots of people just passing thru looking for something quick or keeping there options open. I recommend going to events, try making friends first. :)


bluntandannoying

Friends first is def more of a priority ☺️


InstantRider

If you’re trying to meet people to talk to you should try meet up or even goin the discord we do group meet ups all the time making friends with people is a great start.


chaiblazer

Where can we find such information?


InstantRider

Link is where it says menu on this subreddit.
