Modern dating

Modern dating is a jungle if you are asking me.

Having access to technology and social apps can be a plus but also a big disadvantage.

The fact that have the ability to meet a lot of new people in a very short time can be exhausting.

Dating apps gives you the possibility to match and talk to multiple people at the same time. Is this a good thing, though?

Having multiple options available for you can make you wonder if choosing 1 person out of the many is the right choice. What if the other one is a better fit?

All this can lead to confusion, indecisiveness and anxiety.

Call me old fashion but meeting someone organically at a coffee shop, a concert or a bar sounds way better than spending hours/days on dating apps and ‘shopping’ for the right person.

What I find difficult about meeting people outside of dating apps is the fact that men do not approach women anymore. I can do all the old tricks and smile pretty as much as I want, showing availability in a nice way and receiving back reciprocity but that is where it ends. No Hi, I am.., would you like a drink etc movement.

Don’t tell me that all the feminism movements and equality between genders did this because I refuse to believe it.

I refuse to believe a man would rather spend his time on his phone, alone at an event than say Hi to the pretty lady he exchanged looks and smiles all night.

Is this modern dating? Just swiping on apps, awkward interactions in real life because you realise in the first 5 minutes that there is no attraction and the conversation is bad in person.

Every time someone asks me what my experience with dating apps is, I tell them that I am very close on getting a cat and delete them. I find them cold and mechanic, exhausting sometimes.

What is your experience with modern dating? How do you find the experience?
