I hate how on daring apps, the relationship comes before the person.
You don't date them because you think they're cool and might want a relationship with you. You date because you both happened to be single at the same time.
I can't get over the artificial feeling when I talk to someone on dating app, or even when I met them. We have casual conversation, and after I get home, I get messages about how great I was, with lots of compliments and heart emojis, and it just feels wrong. I did nothing to earn that. Those are compliments and hearts after 1 hour of talking about Mangas and video games, just to keep me hooked, but it just feels artificial.
So, I think I'm done with dating apps.
I practice sports outside of work, and have never met anyone I could/would date there (they're already in relationships/a few decades too old/one actual seemed interested in me, and as a result blocked me in his car with him late at night to keep having a conversation with me about his hysterical ex wife and his ungrateful kid).
So, I was wondering : what's next ?
