I find it all intriguing as it’s something that came about after I met my husband. I don’t think younger me would’ve coped very well with online dating, my ego couldn’t haven taken it!
I also missed the speed dating phenomena. Now that was a bit more me. It could’ve been fun. You really do get a feel for someone best when you’re in their energy.
Speed dating always seemed fun objectively, even if you didn’t go home w a new dating interest. Just fun to meet so many people. Like musical chairs you gotta keep moving and taking to someone new lol
Dating apps just removes the human part of dating, and then we wonder why it makes us feel shitty. 🤦🏽♀️
Girl I soooo resonated with this piece! Your point about 'attention addiction' and how it leaks into real life is so underrated. It creates a cycle where everyone is chasing a hit of dopamine rather than a deep connection. Your writing really challenges the reader to look at what they are actually looking for when they open an app. As a single woman, who is out there dating, and often will turn to a dating app (I delete them often when I am frustrated), I couldn't agree more with your insight. I find that most people are out there really just looking for external validation. I also feel that this behind the computer/phone connection we have has really only taught people how to be more disconnected. Really love your take on this, I will be subscribing to read more of your work!
I actually enjoyed reading your article! I’ve never been interested in “dating apps” but I have entertained romantic connections through social media. All of which I ended up regretting in the end. I’m a 90’s baby, or a millennial as my colleagues say, so I’m a bit old school when it comes to dating. I miss how simple courtship was before the internet became a part of the equation.
Yeah I’m an 80s baby, Gen X with hints of millennial lol I totally get it.
I’ll write on a variety of topics related to relationships, so even if you can’t relate to hinge and tinder, there will be plenty more topics to read about (:
It seems social media has become a giant dating app. It's so bizarre to me. Particularly the fraud, which is on every platform now (and our text messages as well). I hate that lonely people are such easy targets for predators.

I’ll grow old alone before I’ll go back to a dating site.
