How I almost swiped left 👈 on my husband 😶🌫️
————-
Back in 2022, after getting out of some toxic relationships I decided I would remove all my “filters” on bumble and stop having a “criteria” for who I meet up with. So I removed all my preset filters and started swiping.
In the meanwhile, Sam had googled “best dating apps” and joined bumble a month beforehand and as the true Sam that he is, his profile had ZERO info on it, apart from a photo of his side profile that was super far away, his gender and his height 😆
So I began swiping and for him, without my removal of filters, he would have never showed up on my feed, I came up to his profile, which had no info and was about to swipe LEFT until I saw he was tall 🤣 (184cm 6ft 1) and thought ok at least he’s tall, let’s swipe right 😏
So I messaged him 2 lines and said let’s meet up for a drink on Saturday he said yes and I completely did not even reply until that Saturday. 1 hour before we were meeting, I felt like I really couldn’t be bothered to go and meet him because firstly he’s local (so snobby of me I know) and I never dated a canto local person before and secondly I was still abit mopey about my last relationship. None the less, my aunt who I was with at the time encouraged me to go and so I went….and the rest is history! 🥰❤️
Moral of the story, remove your “filters” and don’t box people into who you think is your “type” because you may be surprised.
