I wouldn’t say that apps have killed dating, more that there are fewer public third spaces to run into a potential partner coupled with far too many people wanting a quick and easy fix (like an app) for finding such places; the times I’ve seen people throw their hands up and declare it impossible to meet people because they find it difficult to google things in their area is concerning.
Remember how finding a date could be in line at a coffee shop? I wouldn’t dare interrupt someone’s day by talking to them in person. I might get arrested.

Sometimes I feel like we’ve catered our norms to anxious people and introverts…and even as an anxious introvert it fucking sucks.
