I have been out of college for almost a year now and have been trying to not use dating apps to meet women. Unfortunately I always find myself downloading them after a night out with some friends when I find that no one really wants to be approached in public. A lot of the people I see tend to stick solely to the groups they were out with. Last night I was talking to a friend who is in a relationship and he was saying it seems like everyone now just wants to meet through one of the standard apps and when they go out they don't want to meet anyone new. I have had a few relationships outside of college that all started from apps but none of them turned out well in the end and were short-lived.

Am I just getting in my head too much because I'm just avoiding actually approaching people when I go out or should I embrace the use of apps from here on out?
