He&#8217;s now back on the dating game, and it starts by telling everyone he&#8217;s &#8220;recently discovered he&#8217;s ready to get hurt again&#8221; after that on-screen experience in the pods.<\/p>\n<h2>Dave joins Hinge after Love Is Blind<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindOnNetflix\/comments\/1jpu0t5\/dave_is_back_on_hinge\/\">Dave is back on Hinge<\/a><br \/> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/doctorakiwi\/\">u\/doctorakiwi<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindOnNetflix\/\">LoveIsBlindOnNetflix<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/03\/04\/lauren-and-dave-reunited-less-than-a-day-after-their-love-is-blind-split-but-what-happened\/\">Dave<\/a> is trying to get vulnerable again by joining dating app Hinge after <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/03\/31\/love-is-blinds-engaged-couple-whose-journey-didnt-air-share-cute-pics-from-when-they-met\/\">Love Is Blind<\/a>. His profile says he&#8217;s new, features a sweet photo of him with his mum, and claims he&#8217;s &#8220;fun to be around.&#8221; Another feature on his profile reveals Dave &#8220;likes to enjoy life and doesn&#8217;t like being around negativity.&#8221; Oh, and another thing? &#8220;Relationships should be fun, not a chore,&#8221; says Dave.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s even shared a photo with co-star <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/02\/25\/madison-brutally-claps-back-at-accusations-she-played-both-mason-and-alex-on-love-is-blind\/\">Mason<\/a>, as well as two other men, during a night out. And guess who the only one wearing sunglasses inside the club is? Obviously Dave. The Love Is Blind star has also shared a picture of himself waiting in his car and looking up to the right, with the caption, &#8220;Selfie #503.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, if Dave is up your street, then he&#8217;s available to date on Hinge. The initial photo people spotted shows Dave wearing a blue suit next to a girl, but he&#8217;s cropped her out, and people are convinced that perhaps that&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/03\/04\/lauren-reveals-everything-she-wrote-in-that-letter-for-daves-sister-on-love-is-blind\/\">sister he couldn&#8217;t seem to stop talking about<\/a> while trying to get to know his then-fiance, Lauren.<\/p>\n<h2>He&#8217;s &#8216;dead single&#8217; after his split from Lauren<\/h2>\n<p>While Lauren has zero interest in rekindling her former romance with Dave, he&#8217;s now understanding of how she felt on Love Is Blind. \u201cI&#8217;m dead single,\u201d he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/tudum\/articles\/love-is-blind-season-8-cast-where-are-they-now#:~:text=%E2%80%9CI'm%20also%20starting%20to,me%20understand%20that%20about%20myself.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tudum<\/a>. \u201cIt&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve had an actual girlfriend, other than Lauren, and this helped me understand that about myself. I\u2019m doing okay. It\u2019s getting a little better each day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Dave has been super open about heading back into the dating world and said, \u201cI\u2019m ready for that next step, which also makes it harder, knowing what you want. Once you know what you want, it\u2019s a little harder to find. Unfortunately for me and Lauren, I guess we\u2019ll never know what could have been.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals,
