This is so weird to me. I've only ever dated people I was friends with first.
When I was younger I sometimes tried to go out with people I was friends with first. The rejections were worse. I'd still have to see her all the time at social events.
There was also a lot more "oh! She's cool! Shit. She's seeing someone. And doesn't date men."
The apps let you filter for a lot of stuff right up front. Don't have to waste time pining after people that aren't available.
Someone from the app says no or doesn't click? Back into the aether they go, never to bother me again.
To each their own, if it's working for you, but there are a lot of things dating apps can do better. Capitalism just shits up the place, as usual.
