Still, other people use these apps because they want to find friends, expand their social circles, and improve their conversational skills. There’s no real alternative to talking to people if you want to get rid of your shyness and awkwardness. The more you practice, the better you become at holding fun, interesting conversations.
That’s not to say that dating apps like Tinder are the perfect solution to all of your dating problems. They can be quite problematic. For example, you can become addicted to using the app and spend huge chunks of your time looking for potential matches.
Or you might start equating people’s appearance and profile bios with their actual worth. You might also judge other app users more harshly based on their photos and messages than you otherwise would if they approached you in real life.
On top of that, there’s the fear of missing out (FOMO) to contend with. When you know that there’s a huge number of potential matches out there, you might keep going on dates instead of settling for someone who you’re genuinely great with. The idea that there could be someone ‘even better’ out there can make you miss out on great opportunities right under your nose.
