“...newer apps offer a sense of immediacy and simplicity that in many ways harkens back to the good old days of just walking up to a pretty stranger and making small talk. “
Wouldn’t it be easier, save on your data limit (or whatever), show more confidence & character to just do such a thing? Wait, these days you’d possibly be called a stalker, or participant in this “rape culture” I keep hearing so much about.
Lol.
That’s mostly why I don’t date. Not meaning to paraphrase Clinton here, but words have meaning. To be called a creeper hurts down to the core of your being. It’s not a nice word when you live your life making sure you don’t act strangely.
