Has anyone stayed online friends with someone they originally met on a dating app?
Has anyone else ended up with a long-term online friendship/acquaintanceship with someone you originally met on a dating app? Did you eventually meet, or did you just stay internet friends? This is not normal territory for me lol. 31F. I matched with a guy on a dating app who was looking to hook up, but I wasn't interested in that. I thought he was funny, though, so we added each other on social media.
It's been about two months and we've somehow become casual internet friends. We send each other funny stuff and have short conversations every couple of days, but we don't really ask personal questions or make much effort to get to know each other deeply. I even give him advice about his dating adventures sometimes, so there's no romantic ambiguity on my end.
We live about 30 minutes apart and sometimes go to the same places independently, but neither of us has ever suggested meeting. I'm not bothered by that and honestly would probably rather keep it online lol. I just find it funny that we hang out at some of the same places but apparently exist in parallel universes.
