In lockdown, I turned 39 and reluctantly signed up for multiple dating apps as I had given everything else a go.
I kept being encouraged by friends to use Plenty of Fish, and Tinder β as well as Asian Date an app specifically for Asians and Shaadi, which is an Asian marriage app.
After swiping left for most women, I came across a lady who seemed perfect for me. Her photo was simple and she looked nice. She replied, we exchanged numbers and spoke on the phone, every day.
I had been feeling vulnerable and was fed up with women in the UK, as it seemed like they just wanted to waste my time, and were very arrogant. Soon after we matched, we were messaging daily. She was gentle, kind, always making the effort to call and be there for me β she truly sounded like she would be the perfect wife.
