Hey everyone,
Hope you're having a good day wherever you are. Today, I wanted to share something a little different — a peek into my recent experience with online chatting apps, specifically one called Litmatch.
If you’ve never heard of it, Litmatch is a social app where people can connect through text, voice, or even short timed calls. I downloaded it on a whim, curious to see what it was like to talk to strangers outside of my usual circle. But before I go deeper, let’s address the elephant in the room…
Yes, I know apps like Litmatch and Omegle come with a lot of judgment and raised eyebrows. If you know, you know. The internet is filled with people who don’t hold back, and unfortunately, a lot of them are uncomfortably bold when it comes to sexual content. I’ve seen more unsolicited private parts on Omegle than I ever wanted to — to the point where I had to skip every two seconds just to maintain my sanity (and protect my poor, innocent eyes).
Thankfully, Litmatch was a little less intense — probably because I mostly stuck to the text chat feature. Still, that didn’t completely shield me from awkward or overly forward conversations. I learned quickly that some people are very upfront about what they want. But I just stayed honest with them, and most of the time, they left as fast as they came. So hey, time saved!
Now onto the more interesting part. Over the past few days, I actually had some pretty decent conversations with people. I even connected with two individuals who stood out to me. Let’s call them Person A and Person B.
Person A: The Conversationalist
He’s talkative, witty, and knows how to keep the energy flowing. Our chats are fun, supportive, and effortless. If I let my guard down, I could easily catch feelings. But there’s one big thing holding me back — we come from different faiths, and for me, that’s not something I can just overlook. It’s a real internal conflict, because I genuinely enjoy talking to him.
Person B: The Check-In Guy
This one is a bit of a mystery. We’re eight time zones apart, so our conversations are limited. When we do talk, it feels more like regular check-ins than deep connections. He tells me when he’s off to work, when he’s back home, and asks how I’m doing — and that’s about it. It’s kind of sweet in a way, but also… not enough.
At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel. He said he wanted to get to know me better, but I wasn’t sensing any emotional spark. I told myself I’d give it a month, and if nothing changed, I’d be honest and suggest we just be friends.
(Plot twist: I was wrong… and now we’re in a relationship! 😂)
Lessons Learned. My little adventure on Litmatch reminded me of a few important things:
- People online can surprise you — both in good and weird ways.
- Boundaries matter. Don’t be afraid to say no or walk away.
- It’s okay to explore new ways of meeting people — just be smart and protect your peace.
In the end, I decided to uninstall Litmatch. It wasn’t really for me, but I’m glad I gave it a try. It gave me new stories, new connections, and a better understanding of what I’m really looking for in others — and in myself.
Until next time!
