Hi community,
13 years ago i (m32,German, rural area) found my Oneitis via Online Game. Since i had a GF and was happy i completely cut my ties with the scene. Now us two go separate ways and im back.
to get back into dating i downloaded 4 different dating apps (Lovoo, Tinder, Badoo, bumble), setup my profile and went in quite blind. heck, i am so out of the loop, i dont even have instagram, snapchat, x or any social media platform. i just dont care about stuff like that.
i am slightly above average looking but never was the greatest typer, not very creative nor extraordinarily eloquent, but when i have a chance to meet someone in person, i am always able to turn it into a fun time for me and my dates, got a decent amount of closes, ONS et cetera.
in conclusio: since i live so rurally and im not a big party animal that i feel like i am reliant on online dating apps .

Questions: does anyone have some tipps, references, guides on how to navigate this snakepit called online dating with more success? when do u guys spend money on premium accounts (it feels necessary, am i wrong)? would u focus on just 1 app?

i would really love to hear ur opinions!
Great day to everyone!
