Gay guys<\/a> share their dating app success stories<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Feeling Grindr fatigue? Has Tinder left you swiped out? Are you missing all of OKCupid\u2019s arrows? Take heart in the dating app success stories gay<\/a> guys<\/a> recently shared on Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTook a while but I met my current [boyfriend] on Grindr,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cWe have been together nearly 6 years now. When we met, I was explicit I was taking time away from dating and hookups but was happy for friends. We were official 2 months later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or take this dude, who reverted to Tinder after striking out on Grindr. \u201cAn adorable cute boy<\/a> matched with me,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHe invited me to his house to play music. (I play guitar.) It was a pretty quick escalation, and now we\u2019ve been together for 8 months. He\u2019s moved into my condo. I love him very much. To the point, I think I just got really, really lucky.\u201d (He also has advice for lovelorn readers: \u201cMaybe learn guitar.\u201d)<\/p>\n

One lucky fella, meanwhile, said he \u201cmet the perfect guy<\/a> after 10 minutes\u201d of using Grindr for the first time.<\/p>\n

\"Bored<\/a><\/p>\n

Another found love through Grindr, though not in the usual way: \u201cI met a guy<\/a> on Grindr [who was] really good in bed but turned out to be a dickhead in the end. But before I realized that, we went cruising together, and I exchanged numbers with a guy<\/a> there, planning to meet up sometime. The guy<\/a> I met there is now my boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

A different Redditor got lucky in more ways than one during an early-morning rendezvous. \u201cMessaged an attractive guy<\/a> on Grindr one morning at 6 AM,\u201d this man<\/a> wrote. \u201cHe came over, we f*cked, it was hot. 6 months later, we\u2019re deeply in love and living together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, there are other definitions of success, as one commenter cheekily proved. \u201cI get laid,\u201d he wrote. \u201cSuccess.\u201d<\/p>\n
