(yes, i've been dating during COVID. i always meet folks outdoors)
i hate dating apps so much. i mean, i've gotten some decent dates (and also had some lasting relationships) via dating apps, but yeah wow, it is truly like pulling teeth trying to get anything halfway decent set up. it definitely doesn't help that asian guys are usually bottom of the pecking order in the dating world (at least for straight asian guys - i don't know how it is outside of that), but i mean, even besides that, meeting people in person is just way, way easier and better in so many ways, at least for me. of course, COVID is getting in the way of that in a huge way - but man, i cannot WAIT for the vaccine to drop for us normies so we can start mingling with each other in person again.
i've got way too many stories of weirdos, casual racist shit, and just bad, bad dates... but, yeah, just hoping that things change after COVID's over.

Relate! Last year I tried taking few dating apps and nome of them are genuinely nice and romantic. Only disgusting, creepy old white males who prey and s-xually fetishes on asian women. Hell, one of them after knowing I'm a Filipino insert a hurtful comment about how Filipino women, largely adolescents, are known as gold-diggers, baby-machines, or slave prostitutes to western white s-x tourists.
I have a lot of failed dates during this quarantine but now I stopped dating nd decided to love and take care of myself more often.

dating apps aren't wonderful I just turned 18 and I find them all boring I want to meet people in person so I feel like I have a genuine connection physical is way better
yeah 100% - i prefer in-person interactions as well. dating apps *can* be a good way to expand the search (i kind of see it as another "venue"), but IMO it shouldn't be the only thing that you use if you're going out there and meeting new single people

Dude, yes. My one-and-only legit romantic relationship came through my first girlfriend whom I didn't meet until grad school. We've now been married for almost 6 years. I had some very intense platonic relationships but they either fizzled out, ended on bad terms, or didn't develop into something more.
