Dating doesn’t seem to come organically anymore. It’s almost like you can’t be actively dating if you’re not actively on social media.
Men don’t even ask for your number anymore. I still chuckle to myself when a man asks for my social media handle when he’s interested.
Is this the new norm?
If I want to get to know someone, I need to check an app to see if I received a message. Or better yet, check my Insta account for a DM?
This is a far cry from how simplistic dating “used” to be.
Now you can simply follow someone on social media and receive instant gratification on whether you want to date them… or the social media them.
With all the filters and photo editing tools available at our disposal, the real {insert name here} could be the most disappointing FISH you CATch.
On the other hand, who doesn’t mind eye candy at your disposal in multiple platforms.
Growing up without social media and before smart phones has made me miss the days dating required more effort that checking a dating app.
I can’t bash the apps completely, I’ve had some to minimal success.
There are research studies to document the high/ dopamine release people experience for positive social media reactions.
Just make sure you are swiping right on yourself first.
