I am married and I have been for 24 years-married at age 20 so I have never had to really date and have no knowledge of dating apps. I just wanted to offer my support. I do not know what I would do if I had to date now. Its not easy and the internet has made is so easy to fool someone, lie and be a player. I empathize with what you are struggling with. I think having sex with someone soon after a date or dates has always carried risks though. There is no right or wrong way to go about it. I know people that had sex on the first date who have been married for 5 years and people who didnt have sex until well involved in the relationship who are married now, I also know people in both of those circumstances that never had their relationships work out. So there is no right or wrong answer. Personally I would tend to er on the side of caution when it comes to having sex right away. Anyone who pressures you to or who is annoyed that you dont probably isnt a good partner. And someone who does get sex and moves on probably isn't a good partner. If you want advice from this old lady I would say try and keep sex out of dating for awhile. It may make things easier to see through because you will know that someone who dates you even after not having gotten sex from you is really interested in what you have to offer.
