Hi Joseph,
Yes, you are wrong about the perception that using dating apps makes you seem desperate. That may have been the perception once, but that was a long time ago. Just about everyone is either doing online dating, has done it at some point in the past or knows someone who does.
If anything, it has now reached a point where most people don’t blink an eye when they find out that a couple met on a dating app. Dating apps are some of the most visited websites in the world.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Online dating is just another way to meet someone special, nothing more, nothing less.
