16 Things You Only Know If You Met Your Partner On A Dating App

These days we are statistically more likely to meet someone new through a dating app than in real life.

But just because the odds are in our favour, doesn’t mean we’re feeling any less awkward about being in a long-term relationship with that loveable random we swiped right on while drunk.

Here are 16 things you only know if you met your partner on a dating app.

1. Trying to explain to your parents where you met.

2. Reassuring your grandparents that it was perfectly safe.

3. Feeling the need to explain you’re not normally one of those app people.

4. Meeting their friends and realising you swiped right on more than one of them.

5. Wanting to ask about how ‘successful’ their dates were before they matched with you.

8. Taking the piss out of them for their profile picture selection.

9. Being unsure when the right time is to delete the apps.

10. Wondering when to phase out all the other fuckboys you were stringing along.
