While I did meet my partner via an app, Iāve also lost countless hours to swiping and feeling discouraged and then encouraged (!) and then ghosted lol. Itās grown harder for us to connect outside of apps, as weāve grown accustomed to seeking connection that way, but I do think thereās quality of connection over quantity when it comes to meeting people in real life, developing a genuine connection first, and then going āOh, do I have feels for you?ā Versus just starting with a photo and having to make decision of Yes or No.
zenlikeme yes exactly. And of course the apps have worked for people and that is so rare but also beautiful too! Itās one of those things that feels like a challenge you need to get through. Like āhow long can I emotionally withstand meaningless conversations with strangers until one of them has meaning?ā. I also think some people are built to not take the apps so seriously, but Iām not that type of person. So Iāve learned theyāre not for me.
