dating apps make me feel like i'm doomscrolling through a menu of soon-to-be regrets

ngl, swiping feels like i'm shopping for humans on amazon prime now, 'two-day shipping for another soul connection?' lol. match, chat, flirt, then poof... ghosted over some dumb stan twitter drama they brought up like 3 timestamps in. tbh it's just exhausting trying to fake chemistry with 15 different versions of the same bio ('fitness, travel, sushi'?? really??)

i keep wondering if people even meet organically anymore. like, do y'all actually talk to strangers at coffee shops or concerts or am i just romanticizing pre-pandemic nonsense? ladies, what's going on out there? am i the red flag?
