Guys typically are always saying lower your expectations. I’ve had the opposite experience of having better luck with higher expectations, though they are not unrealistic. Using an app is just another way to meet someone. A match on an app doesn’t equal a match in real life. I never even kissed someone I met through an app until this year and we dated for a bit. I’m not great at figuring out if I’d have the all elusive chemistry with a person until I meet them. Never used an app longer than a few days before deleting it either.
