- SO it has been 5 months and the last dating video has become the most viewed (and liked) one on this channel...clearly this is the content that people want (?)
Anyways, in the time it takes for others to literally get into a relationship and break up, I sat quietly at home and probably talked to about 10 other human beings because covid. Don't worry, I am having a great time as an introvert, but at some point I realised this is slightly worrying in the grand scheme of my long-term plan not to be single forever. Given the whole 'new normal' thing and the fact that it seems like the world is moving online, I thought it was only fitting for me to try out online DATING as well ie. dating apps. I've never used dating apps before and tried out tinder, bumble and coffeemeetsbagel for a week (sort of).
As anybody can probably tell just by the vibe I give off (also because I already made an entire 20 min video about being single since birth), I have never had a boyfriend before. So here is a very innocent dating app video.
OH by the way since I never introduced myself in this video, my name is Naproud :)

This video is old but I can relate so much. I’m 21 and haven’t dated. I downloaded hinge a couple of weeks ago and I talked with a guy for some time. We had great conversations until I decided to end it for several reasons. While going through that (and while thinking back at it now), I felt like an alien. I don’t even like taking pictures of myself, let alone post them for people to look at them and judge whether they wanna date me or not. As you said, it was for me a step out of my comfort zone, more than anything else. I’ve given it much thought and I think I will download it again (I deleted my account and the app after ending it with that guy). Unfortunately, as much as I would prefer it to be otherwise, dating apps are the most efficient way to meet people nowadays. I can see it from my friends.
My thoughts/tips on dating apps:
-Go into it looking for connections rather than relationships. In my experience, dating apps have two types of people: people looking for quick sex and people looking for friendships that could become more later. If you're looking for friends rather than a partner, it definitely takes the pressure off.
-Be yourself. I know that sounds incredibly cliche, but I mean it in the most literal way possible. If you're a weirdo, be a weirdo. If you're nervous about the whole thing, say it in your bio. The more you try to "curate" your profile to make yourself more appealing in a a general sense, the more you will get matches you don't like.
-Dating apps are a numbers game (as you alluded to 😅). You got to play the odds. Send lots of intro messages, swipe as much as possible. It's the only way you'll sift through the bullshit to find real connection.
-If a conversation is boring or uncomfortable, you're not obligated to keep it going.
Hope that helps. 😊 This video was hilarious. It would be cool to see you apply this analytical approach to dating stuff or other things.
thanks for your comment! this is all really good advice and honestly would agree with everything you said. glad you enjoyed watching!!
29 and single. i reached to the point where im also considering using tinder. i feel that i have a forever-alone curse (earned at 15 .My parents said i was too young for a boyfriend so i avoided my crush when my friends started guessing that maybe he liked me back) 15 was the first and only time i liked someone and that person looked interested in me. I found dating apps scary but i agree with "nothing its going to happen if you dont do anything" i already went to high school, university, hobbies classes, even telling friends and family to introduce me someone and nothing worked so... im considering a dating app
Yea "single" but: you average girls get to have s*x at least!!
On the other hand the average young guy in my generation is a VIRGIN in his twenties hahaha
You see how thirsty these guys my and your age are nowadays, never noticed? Some of us are STARVING out here illiterally
So love my dear, really appreciate that you never had to feel that true LONELINESS for YEEEAAARRRS, yea?
At this point I know most guys now would agree with me because I WISH SOME GIRL USED ME ONLY FOR MY BODY (or the male equivalent therefore) / FOR MY MONEY
Be happy you didn't have to stay alone for all your life, have no relationship ever and be a virgin in your twenties
It isn't as fun as it seems for 80% of us out there, really
But what is 2 and a half minutes of another young futureless guy on the evening news...
Pick up the rope Wojak but this time I'll make it quick and be gone for sure
Hard enough for a young man like me in this world to admit that you don't really need help but just SOMEONE
... to talk to or something
Got a little of track there but just remember: "single" for a man and a woman are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things with meaning😂😂😂😂😂 bye
A year later and I wonder how that worked out for you :) We’re pretty similar in age!
i feel like we are pretty similar! i’m 21 and in a similar spot and just don’t even want to touchhhh dating apps😭😭 maybe when i finish college in a few months i’d consider it but it seems so daunting and out there for me to do. i feel the same as you when you were talking about dating feeling very foreign, but idk maybe i’m holding myself back and i’m starting to worry about letting life pass me by idk
wow I really relate even 1 year later hahahaha
I also started dating during the pandemic with Bumble and I was in the same boat as you. I did go on a few first dates, just for the experience and I'm glad I did. I got to meet some nice people I would otherwise never have crossed paths with. And it also made me comfortable with meeting people one-on-one. Nothing came out of it and I broke off things with one guy I saw for about 2 months but it also gave me a better idea of what I look for in a "relationship". 2 years later I'm still single, but I feel a bit more confident having had this experience.
I do agree with what you said about how it's hard to see the people on dating apps as people and it's also why I eventually deleted Bumble. But it was nice as a kind of initiation for me haha
Your awkwardness is adorable (:
It's good you are being honest with yourself.
I feel like this would be me lmao.
I'm 24 socially awkward and antisocial. Idk, guys just me feel uncomfortable lol and not in a shy way, but fight or flight 😅. It's easier for me to take to women, like at my job for example I work with women and I talk to them more, but if it's a dude...I can't relate to you and I'm uncomfortable. Idc how nice you are, not even my manager and he's nice.
i'm a male and prefer talking to women more than men. Feel like I can relate better to them lol. I'm always awk around dudes.
haha I just realised I highlighted 16 people instead of 18 people whoops 7:51
Dating apps are wired! I have always wondered how different a woman’s experience is on them! Haha
This entire video was me using these apps and I ended up deleting them all in the end. 😂😭
You should do meeting facebook it's like tinder but for facebook
You are Soo funny 😂 love all your videos
the dude’s message killed me 😂💀
hahahaha I thinkkkkk he was joking
