Dating Apps - 40s.
I seperated from my long term H earlier this year.
No kids.
Early 40s, a professional.
Ive been in a relationship since prior to the apps and so dont know where to start.
Id just like the option of a bit of chat few dates but terrified of fuck boys and also not looking for another long term commitment as yet (but not closed to the idea either) I dont think tinder is going to be the one for me.
Any suggestions from those who have been there?
Match is a sort of middle ground of dating apps.
Elite singles, okay Cupid, match.com, desperate dating, PASHIP, I think It's called.
All sites not ostensibly apps, but will avoid Tinder for you.
Bumble popular but inaccessible, so I like to put It last.
A veritable multiplicity, overhere.
All sites I promise myself I'll join, then I get sidetracked and don't bother as a single bloke.
Bumble or hinge is a good place to start, they aren't as fast moving as tinder, however plenty of people do meet their partners on there!
so a slower pace maybe better for you being new, Badoo is quite good but much faster moving.
If you don't want fuck boys then definitely don't advertise yourself as looking for casual or match those ones.
thanks all - helpful!
How do you mean Bumble is inaccessible?
also slightly paranoid about my profile being seen by people I knowmuch of a chance?
Do profiles show up on google hits etc?
OK Cupid was where I met DP (I was mid-30s, he was early 40s).
That was 5 or so years ago, so not sure what its like now.
Back then it seemed one of the less popular sites, so attracted guys taking the whole dating thing seriously.
Good luck - and enjoy!
When I was on Bumble, one of my (close) colleagues appeared in my feed.
It was a bit cringe, but ultimately youre all there for the same reason.

Agree with bumble too so another vote for bumble here too i like the fact it gives the women control so her inbox is not full of thirsties.considering i don't regard myself as not anything special I've had some really nice genuine matches who have been lovely.
So definitely a vote for bumble for me .
One of my work 'customers' matched with me on a app.
I haven't dared to go back on since!
Try Hinge and maybe pay for 1 month.
Be warned I think a lot of men are already in full blown relationships already!
Whilst on Hinge.
Go with your gut and try though.
God what shits to be in relationships and also on dating websites.
This is what I worry about.
I am the same, separated after 19 years and don't even know how online dating works Blankspace4 yes I know!!
I've had a couple of dates on Hinge and the men were OK 1 wasn't for me but was nice, another that distance was an issue and I think he just wanted casual in the end (sort of) but had a couple of nice dinners out with him.
Then the lastest.
well.
it's been a shit show!
So it's not all bad but it is tiring at some points.
Realistically most men know women will want to settle down so they lie about what they are looking for online initially.
I'm 8 years younger than you, I'm a single parent and it's really tough!
Sending you better luck your way though.
Honestly OP, be warned dating appssites can be the pits.
A lot of effort, for very little return, sometimes.
Start out without paying for one I'd suggest, and see how you get on.
Paid for the Guardian 34 years ago for 12 months, don't regret It, had some fab conversations and dates, but most of the women pulled the familiar disappearing act once you drop the fact that you're blind.
Not an issue for you, obviously, but can still be an incredible investment, both time and money, without much reward.
