At the advice of my therapist, I made a bumble and tinder account just to get back in the habit of talking to women now that I’m essentially single (my divorce won’t be finalized for 3-4 months). I honestly didn’t see the point as I only separated from my STBXW 2 months ago, and I know I’m not ready to really date yet.

However, I made them anyway. I don’t think I’m a stud by any means, but I’m objectively not bad looking, fairly tall, have a full head of hair, and a decent career. In the 2.5 days since making them I have gotten 56 matches, and have actually had decent conversations with about 25-30% of them (this is about what I remembered it being like). I even got a couple numbers from some attractive women.

It has really helped my psyche. In the weeks since my separation, I feared being this lonely guy with no romantic prospects, but this definitely put a pep in my step. My STBXW is not the end all, be all. While I’m just doing this as an experiment for what I’ll be looking at once I’m ready to date again, it’s great to know there will be someone else if I put any effort into meeting women again. Hopefully I find someone who is t a wolf in sheep’s clothing like my ex.

Stay strong guys
