Exploring a Dating App: It's My First Time, and All I Did Was Swipe Left

I don't know what's gotten into me, but suddenly, I feel a strong urge to "try it," and when I finally try it, I don't know what to do next. It's in there, you know. I already completed my account and had my photo verified, showing my bare face. But then again, I don't know what to do next. I am contemplating whether to continue it or drop it, and forget that I even tried it. What should I do ( ꈍᴗꈍ)? Lol.

It's really @xanreo's fault ಥ‿ಥ, when she shared about something and mentioned the words "dating app." Like, that's the trigger, I think ಥ_ಥ. I'm just kidding, lol. But yep, those words "dating app" really triggered why I want to try it all of sudden. Lol. I woke up at 1 a.m. to pee, and that's when I saw the chat in the group chat. Actually, I want to try it right there and then, but my sleep is more important, so I tried it this morning.

So I asked in the group chat what's the legit dating app they know. And Xanreow mentioned Badoo, and because she's already using it, I just chose that app to try. The Badoo app has a simple design, and it's easier to navigate too. And they have that photo verification process, at first, I didn't want to continue just because of that. But then in my head, "It's just a photo, so go with it and be real." Because I feel like whoever develops this app can also see my ugly face, and I don't want that. (⊃。•́‿•̀。)⊃

And what if they suddenly show it to the world? Lol. But I'm just glad that no one can see it but me. I'm just being cautious. I know it's unnecessary, but I can't help it. Hahaha. And this is my first time using a dating app, so of course we have to be cautious. I had no idea about that "swipe right and swipe left" before, but now I know. I'm not sure why I didn't try this kind of app earlier. Would you believe that I've been addicted to texting and chatting before?

I can't function well when no one's asking me how am I, througj text or chat. I'm an attention seeker, and I love to get attention from those text and chat mates I had before. I feel loved when I'm communicating with them. Ah, thinking about it now, it's been a long time since I got excited over a chat. I was graduating from college back then. Then after that, everything just became boring to me. I guess I just got tired of it.

Anyhow, going back to the Badoo dating app. I tried exploring the app after registering and verifying my account. All is well, I get to see different men with the same interests and likes as me. I find that really amazing. Then you'll find someone you are compatible with in that app. You can even set the age you want to appear in "Encounters" by using the filters. You can also choose just "men" to appear, or you can choose "everyone."

There are people who visited my account, and they even liked it. It is just up to me what will happen next and whether I should like them back or ignore them. To be honest, when I downloaded this app, I was so eager to try it. But when I am finally here and these men are finally showing up, I can actually see more men if I swipe to ignore some. But no one's really caught my attention. I saw a few Filipinos too, but I'm still wondering if I should like them back or not. So for now, I just explored and checked their profile.

I really thought I'd be too excited to try my first dating app. But, I guess, I'm still not yet ready to mingle. Lol. And my guts is telling me that If I started it, there is no backing down anymore. So to be safe, better explore and observe for now. I'll let this app be on my phone for the time being. Who knows, I might get excited after thinking some more, and exploring the app more.

So anyway, how's your first dating app experience? Was it good? Fun? Or just like mine, it's nae?

Hahaha, yeah, but still, who knows, haha. This will progress more if I swipe right 😆. But true, there's a lot of fakes in there. That's why I won't just trust whoever. 😆

LEO Power Up Day - August 15, 2024

La na. Alam na ng whole world na nagdadating app ako 😭 Eme HAHAHA Congrats ate ruffa! Mag try ka din ng ibang dating app just in case, andon talaga forever mo. 😂✌🏻

Ako nag dl lang talaga ako dahil bored ako at gusto ko ng makakausap. 😭 If wala ako magawa, inoopen ko yung app. Mga after day(s) ko nga na inoopen lang. Nag eenjoy naman ako makipag communicate kasi same interest, tapos curiousity sa mga bagay bagay lalo na kapag foreigner kausap ko and nag sstay sila dito sa pinas. Pero wala naman ako balak makipag date talaga. Just for fun lang. 😆 kung meron man ako nagustuhan sakanila forda go! 😭🫦

HAHAHAHA, share your experience na din dawwww, lolol. Dito nga kay badoo diko na alam gagawin ko, hahaha. Baka ending nito ma uninstall ko din sya later. Lol

So kapag may naga like sayo, naga like back ka sa matitipuhan mo then gora na sa inbox? Haha diko pa natatry ay, bigla ako nawalan ng gana. Lalo kapag naiiisip kong another hindrance lang sha forme. Charowt, hahahaha

So kapag may naga like sayo, naga like back ka sa matitipuhan mo then gora na sa inbox? Haha

Oo hahaha or nagmatch kayo ng mga gusto or hinahanap din niya.

Ayaw nyo sa Facebook Dating? Dami don hahaha kaso mga pinoy nga lang

Ayaw ko na ng pinoy 😂

I've never used Badoo, well it's an interesting new world, you just have to be careful, I wish you luck, cheers.

But have you use other app? Thank you, hihi

It think it depends on your preferences. I've found some nice men on dating apps but the relationships don't lasts long hahaha. Who knows? Maybe, you're Mr. Right is right there waiting for you. Try your luck. If it doesn't work, then find another daying app. 😂

True din, till now diko pa din mapilit si self na may try. Na expire na tuloy yong 3 days trial ko nong premium chenes ni badooo, lol
