![]() Had I not had Bumble Premium, I’m not sure I’d have met him at all, so in that regard, I have to call it a win. In my first days of Bumble Premium, I met a fella that I’ve been casually talking to for about two months. So I’ll finally give you what you came here for: Did I meet anyone? Yes and no. Once I took out the rejection factor from the get-go, I felt a lot more comfortable being direct and up-front with everyone I spoke to. ![]() I’m not looking for a serious relationship, but I also don’t want a ton of one-night stands. For the last year or so, my “looking for” status has been stagnant in the “I don’t know yet” category. This ultimately helped me get much clearer on my goals. For the first time ever, online dating became a priority for me rather than just something I do because I’m bored. This is exactly how I felt when the money came out of my account. She explained that she wanted to pay so that she wasn’t wasting her time and that finding love finally became a written-in-stone priority for her, and it put Bumble Premium at the top of my wish list ever since. Travel mode was fun to do on a night at home watching movies with a glass of wine, and I highly appreciated Incognito Mode when I was visiting family in my small hometown and wanted to see who was there but didn’t want anyone to see me (IYKYK).Ī plus-size blogger I love talked about how she paid for Bumble and met the man she would ultimately marry in a video that really resonated with me. I matched with more people and had more conversations in this one month than I had in about a whole year.Īside from the Beeline, the other features were just an added perk. When using the Beeline, I already knew these people liked me, so I felt good taking a little extra time to see if I would like them. I’m known to get in a groove of swiping without really looking or paying attention to anyone, causing me to probably miss out on a lot of great people. Using a dating app in this way is so much more direct, and I actually swiped more on people I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. For the first time in my life, I felt like the hot girl at school who had her pick of anyone she wanted, and that was enough motivation to keep me going for a while. The burnout I often feel from dating apps didn’t occur while I used Premium, likely because I didn’t feel the pang of dismissal of every time I got excited about someone, all for them to never match with me. Hey, I don’t like rejection-who does? So knowing that every person I liked in my Beeline had already liked my back made dating feel so much more fun than like a game I could win or lose. I hate to admit it, but Bumble Premium was a joy to use. ![]() You can get a week’s worth of Premium for $19.99, which I considered, but I felt like going for the full month would give me a better idea of the platform and was a much better deal. Listen, I fall strictly in that category that’s like: If something is $20, I say, “Why not? It’s just $20” if something is over $20, I say, “Do you think I’m the heir to a television network or something?” So swiping my card (or the digital version of it) on this really hurt. But you still get all of these features with Premium if you do decide to swipe (but I rarely did).įor a month of Bumble Premium, I shelled out $39.99. While this would probably make your Bumble experience better, the reason Premium is exciting is because you can avoid swiping, not because it encourages me to swipe more. With Boost, you get unlimited likes, unlimited backtracks (for when you accidentally swipe left on someone cute), unlimited extend and rematch, one “spotlight” a week (where you can improve your chance to be seen by swipers), and five SuperSwipes a week, all for a grand total of $16.99 a month. Instead of swiping to find matches, you already have a whole list of prospective suitors just waiting to be matched with.Īlong with the Beeline, you get a ton of cool benefits, including unlimited filters, unlimited likes, incognito mode (where you can swipe but not be seen to others-it was very exciting to do this while in my hometown), and Travel Mode (which allows you to swipe anywhere in the world-during my Bumble Premium tenure, I swiped in London, Toronto, Vancouver, and Honolulu).īumble also offers Bumble Boost, which seemed like an absolute cash grab to me, so I skipped. The most vital perk of Premium is getting access to your “Beeline,” the little section of the app that haunts you with all the likes you have, just waiting to be swiped on. Bumble Premium is there to make your Bumble experience feel better, but most of all, it’s definitely conducive to meeting new people.
