The Absolute Best Dating Apps To Try If You're Swiping For Love In Lockdown

The times have changed on how people search for love now. There is more selection going on within dating websites. It's the new "sexy" (and the only option now in the love-making business).

But hey, in the name of love and other hormonal emotions, why stop yourself from finding a mate just because you're in quarantine?

There are just so many options to choose from to find someone who will cherish and love you. To help you on your journey to get through these rough and dry times, here are a few suggestions of which dating apps to use.

1. Hinge

If you are looking for someone that personifies James Bond, has an engineering degree, and maintains a clean shave, then you have come to the right dating app. Honestly, this is the most sophisticated and clean app I have used. It is easy to start a conversation with someone and show the different sides of your personality.

Based on my observation, many other dating apps have followed what Hinge does and how it conducts itself. If you are looking for cleanliness, class, and some clever comments to start a conversation, then you are bound to find your James Bond.

2. Bumble

You will find the chill, lazy, and silent type on this app. You may find dudes that just want to meet you at a bar to "get to know you." It can be easy to start a conversation, but the person on the other end may become radio silent and you get nowhere.

However, the great thing about this app is that the ladies make the choice of who they want to talk to. It is an easy way to avoid the guys you may find unattractive or creepy. Women can buzz away and find the flower that smells the sweetest and looks the most beautiful (or handsome) while being away from the ones that may trap them.

3. Tinder

If you want to be thrown into the tiger's pit and look for your tiger king there, then you will find exactly what you are looking for and much more (or less!). My personal reference to this app is that it is a used pair of panties that should have been burned a long time ago, but alas, the beast lives on.

This app defines the new definition of "swiping." This app is easy, quick, and uncomplicated, you may come across a few bad apples here and there, but hey, it doesn't stop your drunk self at 2 a.m. from creating a profile and immediately starting to swipe left or right.

4. Facebook Dating

Honesty, this feels like a last resort, but if you're THAT desperate, sure, use it. No need to throw out the baby with the bathwater (or man or woman).

In my experience, it's like meeting a nerd who is confident in their own field of knowledge but actually doesn't know too much about the world.

Sometimes, the conversations get a bit dry, and when asked to connect through Facebook messenger, you awkwardly have to just leave the conversation because you are not interested in that person (you can't get rid of the match, only delete or block the match).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
