Explaining that it is “so hard on dating apps,” Barrymore, 46, said, “I feel like I’m always swiping left because they are too young [or] I don’t know who they are.”

Continuing their candid conversation, King told Barrymore and the rest of the roundtable that she would join a dating app if she could do so discreetly.
“If I could do it and people wouldn’t know it was me, I would do it,” King said. “… I wish I was brave enough to do it, I do. I prefer to meet somebody through a friend of a friend of friend or you meet somebody somewhere.”
“But I believe that there’s a lot of nice, single people out and we’re like … ships passing through the night, just going past each other,” she continued, before Matthews, 42, explained that if she isn’t going to date online, shehasto make an effort to do so in person.

Last September, Barrymore opened up about her usage of a dating app and how it didn’t go exactly as she had planned.
Appearing on an episode ofWatch What Happens Live withAndy Cohen, theBlendedactress shared that while her trial with online dating was entertaining, it was ultimately a “real wake-up call.”
“I did terribly,” Barrymore admitted. “I got stood up and I didn’t match with anyone and my friends gave me this bloated sense of false confidence. They were like ‘You should try it, you will do great.'”
And while Barrymore wasn’t successful on the app, she said she loved being able to be a part of the online dating conversation. “I definitely had a lot of fun with it,” she said at the time. “I’ve always wanted to go on a blind date but my life got in the way of that so I thought online dating might fasciate that desire.”
