Should I download hinge if I have no real dating experience?
I (18F) have never had a real boyfriend before, ive had talking stages and situationships or whatever; but I’ve never been official with anyone before. I’ve been feeling myself lately and figured I’d download hinge for the summer and maybe go on some fun dates and just casually meet people to try and get myself out there and get more experienced. I’ve asked my friends about this and they’re all very split- many of my friends say I’m too naive, and I’ll get taken advantage off. I have a history of being very insecure and being very sensitive when it comes to my relationship history, so I don’t want to download hinge (or any dating app) just for my confidence to be destroyed. I’m not looking for long term, but I’m also not looking for hookups. is this a good idea? How does a girl my age go about meeting guys?
