Meeting a stranger from an online dating site, IRL usually involves the story of a quick escape that needed to be made when your match ended up looking nothing like her profile picture. Or cried to you about her ex-boyfriend. Or showed up covered in cat hair and proceeded to show you photo after photo of her cat, Mittens.

But occasionally, the stars do align and mutual orgasms are facilitated thanks to online dating.

If you're starting to feel discouraged after yet another failed attempt at sealing the deal with an online dating match that seemed so promising, here are some inspirational stories from women revealing their dating app hookups that actually went well.

1. Memorable Moments In The Men’s Room

"Back in the days of 'Tinder Moments,' where you could post a picture that would act as a status of sorts where all of your matches could view your picture, my bff and I would plan our nights out using that feature. We'd post a hot picture of the two of us together on a Saturday night and ask Tinder, 'Can we come party with you?' Then we'd weigh our options, and choose guys to meet up with. Most of the time our efforts were fruitless, but there was this one night that I scored big.

We met up with a guy that was actually my friend's match, and his friend from out of town. They were both Southern boys and my friend and I are from NYC (where we were) so we teased them a bunch about it, obviously. I went to the bathroom at the same time as my friend's 'match,' and we both started drunkenly making out by the bathrooms. One thing led to another, and before I knew it we were doing it in the men's bathroom. I never told my friend."

2. So You Had A Bad Day

"The best sex I ever had was from a random night when I agreed to a last-minute date from Hinge. We'd been talking for a few weeks and I thought he was fine, but wasn't in a big rush to meet him or anything. Then I had a sh*tty day at work and my ex texted me some B.S. and I just wanted to be drinking with somebody. I sent my match a message on a whim, just to see if he would be down to meet up for a drink and surprisingly he was free.

When we were face to face he was definitely different from the guy I had gotten to know online, but it was a good kind of different. A quiet, hot kind of different. Everything he said sounded deep and sexy. Maybe it was the tequila we were drinking, I don't know. All I know is that we got in a cab together and our mouths didn't leave each other’s for the next four hours or so. Spontaneity, am I right?"

3. Pleasantly Surprised In The Kitchen

"I was on pretty much every dating app at the time when my friend convinced me to add one more to my roster — Bumble. Honestly when I first logged on I thought, no way are these profiles real, because all of my matches were considerably better looking than on any other app. So when I matched with 'Nathan,' I figured the same thing that always happens would go down. We'd meet up. He'd look nothing like his picture or smell like old milk or something else that would be a dealbreaker. We'd awkwardly make small talk, then I'd make an excuse and head home.

Except the complete opposite of that happened. We met at a craft beer hall by my house, and he measured up to the guy he claimed to be on his profile. Exceeded it, even. He was just as funny in person as he was via text, which basically never happens to me. I figured that he chose the bar we were at because it was so close to where I lived and obviously he was planning on trying to get it in, but when he dropped me off he actually walked me to my door and kissed me goodnight. Then I invited him in, and we had sex on every surface of my kitchen. We're still dating."

4. Getting Hot ‘n’ Heavy In The Weight Room

"My ex and I had just broken up, and I was in this mindset where I just needed the last guy that I slept with to not be my ex, if that makes any sense. So my single girlfriends obviously all insisted that I download Tinder immediately, and that I'd have a ton of options to choose from for who was going to be the next 'last' guy that I slept with. They weren't wrong. People were so thirsty on the app that I literally had my pick of whoever I wanted. Which actually made it tough to narrow down. I settled on a hot personal trainer, who insisted that we go to dinner even though I had made my intentions extremely clear.

He takes me to this really nice farm-to-table restaurant because he eats healthy since he's a trainer and all, and my mind is in the gutter the whole time because he's insanely built and all I can think about is mounting him. We finish dinner and it's late, around 11, but he asks me to go with him to the gym that he trains at, which he says is closed. I try and get him to take me back to my place, but he insists that he just has to make a quick stop to pick up something he forgot. He lets us in the back door, and we're in the weight room, and I sit down on one of the weight benches and wait for him to get whatever he came for. Then he sits down with me on the weight bench and starts taking my clothes off, and it made sense why we were really there."

5. Getting Back Out There

"Fresh off a breakup with a guy who I had dated for almost five years, I joined Coffee Meets Bagel against my better judgment. The reason I chose this app is because it only gives you one match per day, which meant that I wouldn't be swiping left and right all day like my other single friends do on other apps. Plus it shut my friends up and made them happy that I was on a dating site and 'getting back out there.' I was on for a few weeks when I matched with a guy who caught my interest. We had the same taste in TV shows, and exchanged a few jokes about our favorite characters, and eventually agreed to meet up. I didn't really have any expectations since I was still mourning my last relationship.

But when we met and locked eyes and it was electric. We were at the bar where we met up at for a solid four hours on a Tuesday, and when we finally looked at the time we both couldn't believe how late it was. He offered to walk me home, and I let him since it was late. At this point I was still trying to convince myself that this wasn't a big deal, and that there was no way I was ready for something serious so soon after my last relationship, so I invited him in and we went at it. We've been dating for almost a year now, and whenever people ask how we met I tell this story. I wish that more positive things like our relationship came out of dating apps. For anyone out there struggling, I hope this story gives you hope that it's possible."

6. How to Find Your Own Online Hookup

If you don't have an epic hookup story like the ones featured here, there's no shortage of steamy apps and sites that can help facilitate one for you. Sure, you may have tried getting lucky on dating apps like Tinder. And while it's no secret that plenty of Tinder's users aren't on the app looking for something serious, it can be time consuming to weed out the matches that are there in search of a commitment rather than something casual.

Hookup sites and apps that are strictly "business" are more effective in that everyone on the site is there with the same goal in mind, so there's no need to waste time explaining your intentions. Not to mention, if there's a certain act that you're really into, or a look that really gets you going, the search functionality on some hook up sites gets so granular that you can actually scope out potential partners by cup size and kink preference. And if meeting up the night you match just isn't in the cards, hook up sites offer video chat functions that allow you to get down to business virtually. What a time to be alive, right? Here are a few hook up sites to consider.

XMatch

At first glance, XMatch looks like it functions as a porn site — and on some level it does thanks to its webcam functionality and video hosting capabilities. But it also gives members the opportunity to browse singles based on how highly other users have rated them, showcasing a list of hottest rated women in your area when you log on. The search functionality of XMatch is top notch: You can browse potential matches by a variety of filters, from basics like proximity to sexual preferences and even kick acts of choice. Profiles on this site are extensive and highly visual to make the search process seamless. Users can connect with other members via webcam and host videos on their profiles. Other features include group chats and forums — there's even a “Sex Academy” section to brush up on your skill set. A basic profile is free, but if you’re looking to get in on XMatch’s more premium features, you’re looking at $20 a month.

FriendFinder-X

There's more to this site than facilitating hook ups, but FriendFinder-X does do that part extremely well, allowing members to search for partners using criteria that ranges from potential matches that are nearby and online now to their breast size and kink type. The site also acts as a cyber sex simulator, allowing members to explore cyber sex scenarios that include member webcams. Want potential matches to know that you're online and looking for a good time? You can broadcast yourself live on the site for others in your area to see. Like XMatch, you can access some of the site for free, but to gain access to all of FriendFinder-X’s features you’ll need a $20 monthly membership.

AdultFriendFinder

If you're looking for a hook up site with an easy set up, AdultFriendFinder has less hoops to jump through in terms of getting a profile up and running. However, the lack of detail means the search functionality isn't as granular as its other two competitors mentioned above. Still, the site connects you with plenty of members in your immediate area looking for a good time — and the extremely explicit profile pictures featured on the site will give you a vivid idea of what you're in for. Similar to XMatch, the site features a "hot" list of the top rated members that are nearby. Basic membership is free, but if you want to gain access to the interactive features on the site, you’ll need a monthly membership of $19.95.
