Is online dating for the sake of companionship unhealthy?

Question - (5 January 2016) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 January 2016)
A female United States age 30-35, *orriedgirl2012 writes:

After college I have lived in my home town for about 18 months now. It's a great place to work and I like it, but there are not a lot of young people. I've been forcing myself to go to events and branch out. I know that it will take some time, but none of the friends I have here compared to the ones I had in college. My question is, is it OK to get on tinder looking for companionship? Obviously I would want to date the person too but I would really like to have a boyfriend so that I have someone who is like a best friend that I can go places and do things with. I broke up with my boyfriend a few months ago, and he kept me very busy and entertained but I often felt lonely and miserable because it was an abusive relationship and he did not really care about what I wanted to do it all. I know they say you have to be happy on your own and I am, but it would be really nice to meet more people and have a meaningful relationship.

Sorry if this sounds silly.

aunt honesty agony auntMy friend found love on tinder, two years later and they are still together. Its worth a shot, yes many dating sites you will find men on it who are only looking for some fun, if you spell out your intentions, you never know who you may find. Good luck.

Honeypie agony auntTindr is know for being a hook-up site, not a "let's be friends" or "date" site. So as long as you know that you might get guy on there who are NOT looking for friendship or relationships, but casual sex - then it is what it is.

However, IF you are NOT looking for casual sex, I' look elsewhere and skip Tindr.

Maybe try the meet-up sites for making new friends and work that side first.
