3 Conversations On Dating Apps That Blossomed Into Magical Love Stories

If it is meant to be, love stories can begin anywhere including in parks, metro, classrooms, and even dating apps. As the world becomes more digital, people increasingly turn to dating apps to find potential romantic interests.

All it takes is for two compatible people to make right swipes on each other and then start a conversation. Of course, it is easier said than done, as many have disastrous dating stories. But some get lucky.

Here are three magical stories that started on dating apps, and blossomed into beautiful tales of love.

1. Rajni And Akshat’s Lockdown Love Story

“I had casually downloaded the BetterHalf app during COVID lockdown out of boredom, and I wasn't actively looking for anything until I stumbled across Akshat's profile. He appeared smart and decent which made me swipe right.

Our first exchange was really formal, not going any further than "hello, how was your day?" Being low on patience, I ghosted him for about three months (I know not a cool thing). It was only later when we spoke on the phone that I realised that he's just a bad texter, but with an amazing personality. He was humorous, intelligent, and kind, and all these traits attracted me to him.

It's been more than a year and a half since we matched. From dating virtually during covid to actually dating in person, we've certainly come a long way and I can't be more glad.”

2. Pradeep And Ambika’s ‘Meant To Be’ Love Story

“I had a sporadic relationship with Bumble before I came across Ambika’s account one fine wintery night. We connected right away and had equal involvement in the conversation. With constant banters, Bumble glitches, and a few messages later, we ended up on a Google Meets call with our cameras on accidentally. From then followed a series of events, where we met, snacked, and walked together. One year later, we are still walking, munching on endless gol-gappes, pepperoni pizzas, and momos, and I know this was meant to be.”

3. Naina And Lakshay’s Long Distance Love Story

“One fine day I was swiping through Tinder and found a really attractive account, that was Lakshay’s. We talked and talked and everything appeared ideal; we liked the same sitcoms, we both loved tattoos and made fun of the exact same things. All was perfect but he lived far away. I lived in Pune and he lived in Bangalore which made it seem impossible to date. But that couldn’t stop us.

We loved talking to each other and exchanging daily updates with one another. After talking regularly for three months, he came to visit (me in) Delhi for three days, and those were three truly magical days. When he went back, we realised that we wanted more.

We told each other we liked one another, and ever since then, we've been dating. We've been dating happily for the past three years. We keep travelling to meet up on the weekends, big holidays, and special occasions.”
