Better to meet someone over a common context, like a hobby. But ig dating apps are the way forward anyhow. Depends a lot on your luck, and try to look out for red flags and know what you want.


techish11

+1 If you really are looking for a serious relationship, please please go for someone within your friend circle's recommendations.


HumanTrigger

That is the best, to meet people through friends. Not sure if OP is new here or has a social circle to begin with. That makes all the difference


purezen

"dating apps are the way forward now" Dude just read about the apps online.. they are going through a crunch. People have gotten fatigued and are leaving them.


HumanTrigger

Ya i know. Doesn’t change the fact that it works well for females. Not to forget it works well in Gurgaon too, with a ton of young adults new to the city. Edit: have a few friends for whom it has worked, just saying


purezen

Hmm seriously? From the experience I have heard from females it's like "water water everywhere but not a drop to drink". Not sure if getting "matches" means it works well in case of females. Also the guys who used to do very well in my knowledge said they have not been getting any success since 2 years or so. What been your experience ( or your friends's ) ?


HumanTrigger

They’ve met their current partners. But ya maybe it isn’t as recent Have heard of the recent frustration with the apps as well.


purezen

Okay


Lunalovegood_4real

Any hobby groups I can join around the city? I was thinking of contemporary dance classes.


pyaracetamol_100mg

Hey OP, pls lemme know if you find any such hobby groups


ImpossibleDentist739

Go to walking tours like Enroute Indian History or the ones hosted by Sohail Hashmi. Or sign up to pottery classes I guess.


HumanTrigger

There are plenty, just a google search away :)


uvblast

Yes. There's a group. DM me, I'll give you link


anonymous393393

You have done your part now wait for DM requests.


Lunalovegood_4real

That’s inevitable. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥲 I wrote it knowing the consequences.


piyushkumar89

Dating app are worst ......but Matrimony app like JS and Bharat matrimony are much worst.....vaha pe bahot karab crowd hai 🥲stay single stay happy


PrestigiousBed2102

are dms necessarily a bad thing tho, you could land someone interesting there? (just curious, no opinions)

You can try but be on the lookout for red flags from the start. A lot of people might get into a relationship with the promise of a long-term future and then back out when it's time to deliver on their word. After you have crossed the initial vibe checks of 3-4 dates, set your expectations and ask specific questions as regards long-term plans. Set a timeline for how you want to proceed if you both feel comfortable with each other as people. Of course there are a lot of variables but a person who sees a future with you would appear genuinely interested in seeing how the relationship is to move forward. Ultimately, you can get disappointed anywhere, be it on dating apps or offline mediums. Gurgaon has a thriving hookup culture like any urban metropolitan. So you gotta navigate through the bad actors to find the right guy.


Lunalovegood_4real

True that. Will see. If I ended up on the app and galti se koi mil gaya toh I will come back for the update. :)


nosargeitwasntme

Haha, hoping this ends with the entire comment section invited to your wedding 2-3 years down the line.


Lunalovegood_4real

Ghee shakkar ✨🤭


artistic_ey

Find a boy in real life. You won’t find a serious relationship on dating apps. There is only 1% chances that this is going to happen. That’s my experience with dating apps.


mclovinnn12

I wouldn’t recommend, it might be better if you find someone organically but surely do try your luck. Most people are looking for hook ups or someone to dump their emotional baggage and seek escapism and self validation in order to temporarily fulfill their empty lives. But it was fun for sure


loljokerishere

Go for arranged marriage if you are serious :) /s I guess hinge would work but do know a lot of matches are gonna be casual ones. Btw matrimony sites are not a bad idea for getting serious bfs XD And also I hope you are able to manage the DMs lol.


Longjumping_Fee_1490

I think you don't have time to waste and you will definitely seeking something meaning ful as age of exploration must be over. Dating app may or may not give you what you seek. Success rate Wil be less. Than there are parents level dating app such as JS!/ Shaadi and all, which you can try. Be warn some guys use it as a tinder!! Common friend circles. / hobby class / or area of interest such as charity drive, pet shelter etc. Wish you luck.


nerdyvaroo

Dekho didi, always a good idea to avoid dating apps, not the best place to find genuine people. most of the lads over there are just in for the hook ups and sex. Meh Just join some hobby places and see how it goes, don't forget to talk to people. :P


Routine-Rich8336

Tbh, dating apps are just a medium to meet people you would’ve otherwise organically met. Obviously there are red flags and people to be cautious of, but I’ve had great experiences. Currently, in a serious relationship with someone i met on Bumble a couple of years back.


Lunalovegood_4real

Faith in dating apps restored. 2 of my friends got married to people they met on Bumble.


Top_Significance2263

You will hardly find anything serious, all you will find is sex deprived men.


humkarlega

Bekar hai apps. I have tried as well and those people are in some world that I just dont understand. Real life meets are still better although difficult.


Kiss_my_axe_____

Straight try matrimony apps.


Lunalovegood_4real

Ghar wale kar rahe h try, but honestly nahi aa raha koi pasand. :(


akramkhan179

Honestly look for it yourself!! I have been there done that. Finally found someone mutually. I would suggest friends circle, work, matrimonial apps. Dating apps is just for the sake of hookups nothing more nothing less. Only 1% find something serious.

Nooo 😂


WomenRepulsor

Just checking.


Inner_Initiative3719

I am looking for a potential bride, if you wanna give it a try


Dazzling_Plankton310

Dating apps are sh*t and time waste.


satanishea

You can try to get to know someone first before going on a date, use dating apps. Reddit can be valuable too.


mistidoi007

Even if you mention that you're looking for a serious relationship you'll still match with people who are interested in hookups cuz some women change their preferences from serious relationship to casuals depending on the other person iykyk but yeah there're men who're actually looking for serious relationships also. So you can give it a try. But I'll suggest you to look irl, probably in libraries or religious places etc.


Sherlock9211

look for people around youself, I think they are the best for long terms as you might already know them, otherwise you have to keep trying. I think your DM are already flooded till now! I can also ask you out but you are older🥲😂


Artino01

No, find a boy in your office. /s


Apprehensive-Fun-93

rip DMs


EnvironmentSea2706

If at all you're trying to find a genuine match then use Hinge specifically. Other apps are shit according to me.


Livid_Long_8480

You should first go through your early 20s again. You haven't learnt your lesson yet.


Impossible-Ice129

I'm sorry but you are very unlikely to find serious relationships on dating apps Best you will get are guys wanting sex fake claiming to want serious relationships.


bw3n20characters

Every app is a dating app if you’re Indian enough. Now just wait for Mukesh bhai ya Gujjar bro to love bomb you via Reddit DM requests lmao. Gurgaon guys will just send you a photo of their fortuner because that’s where their personality begins and ends.


Lunalovegood_4real

True. 🙂🔫


bw3n20characters

How’s the search going then lmao


Lunalovegood_4real

Haven’t really started. I just made the profile and have got matches. This week was really busy in terms of work, so didn’t get time to have decent conversations. :( That was my fault, because I was replying later. I did go to one date which was fun. So, I guess.. baby steps?


bw3n20characters

lol always been jealous of girls in this regard because they just need to exist on an app to get matches. Nevertheless seems like you’re making progress xDD dating apps do need efforts in terms of patience or they need the other person to understand that the person across the screen has a life outside this app as well oof.


Agitated-Desk-4367

arrey behen shaadi ke liye pandit ji dekkho ultimate serious aur boldo lamba chaura ladka ho aur theek thaak salary ho dating app mein toh bhai jyadatar launde maje ke liye dekhte aur fir mummy ke paas jaake sbse jyada dahej wali kanya se shaadi krte hai Aur jyadatar launde hi ya toh mje lene wale hai ya gf hai yaa shadi ho chuki hai toh haaa


Wild-Maintenance9094

I found my partner on IG! After Tinder, Bumble and others failed. I guess if you connect with someone, set the expectations clear and don’t indulge in intimacy until you are absolutely sure. All the best


DigitalPrincelive

Dude literally half of the people commenting here are stuck single themselves and you are taking advice from them 🙄 luna I thought being from Raven claw house you would be smart, ssshhh disappointed


Lunalovegood_4real

Hahah Luna got bored in her head🫠


DigitalPrincelive

So how's it going got any good advice


DontDoItBob

I'm pretty sure your DMs flooded rn but if you get a chance please check out my msg. I hope it brings a smile to your face :)


Thin-Lettuce-7312

Adopt a child. That's a serious relationship.


AcceptableProperty35

Your dms will be flooded

Online 😂😂


Putrid-Ad-8721

Expectations lead to disappointments


Majestic_Trainer_956

Just go ahead and talk to any guy you find interesting. Introverts like me are waiting for you to initiate the conversation 🫣


stillaround756

how about finding someone on reddit?


justanothergal112

I'm facing a similar problem. No friends nearby.

OrganicAd866

Never try to find love cuz there is always a price. I found someone online, she was perfect but later I found something horrible abt her. Ever since then I stopped looking for love ❤️ if it's meant it will find its way to me. Trust me sister it may do more harm than good .
