Anyone else remember using Facebook to find out if your new crush was available?
I mean besides rating women, that was the initial purpose of FB.

I'd date on Lemmy, since it seems many folks here align more closely with my political views than anywhere else I've been.
Problem is, many folks are so privacy-focused (some to the point of paranoia) they won't give you much info about themselves or their personal lives.
Kind of funny, tbh.
I think Lemmy dating would work much better for people living in North America. Americans seem to be the biggest demographic by far.
I live in Northern Ireland, the chances of finding other people from here on Lemmy are already slim, let alone a girl from here who is a similar age to me and up for a date!
Dating apps are bit like voting in Northern Ireland in the UK general election. Technically you're taking part in choosing the next PM but in reality you're just squinting hard at a small list of munters that'll do nothing for you.
If a cute girl could manage to dox and kidnap me, then it could work out as long as she has good internet in the basement.
I'm sure if the plan is to kidnap you, the end goal will result in
Tap for spoiler
torture and/or deathTorture just means she wasn't the right one.
Imo it's also sort of hard because of the size. You'd have to find really small communities so you're running into the same people and have the opportunity to foster relationships. easier on smaller instances or communities, but if you're just browsing /all it'll be harder to notice the same people.
unless, like, a dating specific instance or community popped up. tho I can see all kinds of issues in that
