I began matching with a few girls, some of which were promising and others, not so much. Did I like to party? Did I like to stay in and cook? I decided to write a mixed bio, trying to explain that I like to stay in but also go out on occasion because I’m a “normal girl” (again.whatever that means). I had to decide how I wanted to “come off” to other people. Making a Bumble BFF profile was a little difficult, to be honest. The city that never sleeps! I needed to do something drastic, so I made a Bumble BFF profile. Slightly buzzed, I felt almost angry that I was sitting in New York City alone on a Friday night. I was left sitting on the couch drinking wine alone. I remember vividly it was a Friday night and my boyfriend was going out for a “guys night” (jealous). So at what point did I reach for Bumble BFF? After about five months. Let’s also keep in mind, girls in NYC are not the friendliest of creatures. Striking up a conversation with a girl in my pilates class was cringeworthy. Quickly I realized it was in fact, not easy. I thought to myself “I’m a normal girl, this will be so easy” (whatever that means). I came in with a mission to make a great friend in the city, someone I could do “girls night with”. Making friends is completely up to you and how extroverted you want to be. There’s no more sitting next to someone in class, or bumping into someone at a sorority event. The Back StoryĪfter moving to NYC in 2018, I quickly realized how difficult making friends as an adult was. One question we have always asked ourselves at The Modems is does Bumble BFF, introduced by the dating app in 2016 as a way to make friends, actually work? Our contributing editor Mallory Stempfley tells the tale of a true friendship, forged online. Bumble has already proven itself as a tried and tested, female friendly way to meet your significant other.
