I love how perfectly you've captured the mess of emotions that come with using dating apps these days! That description of trying to write a bio that's "vulnerable but casual" is so relatable - it really is like trying to have a meaningful conversation while simultaneously having a crisis and juggling a coffee.
Your Diet Coke comparison is brilliant - it's such a perfect symbol for modern relationships: artificially sweet, not particularly substantial, but somehow we keep coming back for more. And you're absolutely right that "dating is a dangerous sport" deserves to be preserved as wisdom for future generations.
The post-breakup rituals you mentioned - the Spencer reference, joining the Cloud Appreciation Society, and commissioning an oil painting - are such creative ways to process those complicated feelings.
Thanks for bringing such honesty and humor to the disaster zone that is modern dating. It's comforting to know we're all in this chaos together. Keep swiping with that brave spirit!RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
And thanks for introducing us to Spencer's art. So beautiful! Good on him for being so consistent with the date invites :D
I was single and on Bumble on 2016, alas its quite the same now... but I am on Hinge. I will need more than luck to survive, but you can wish me that for start!
Brilliant

"suspiciously consistent in his invitations to go on proper dates, was not a serial killer"
ARE WE SURE THO?
AFTER 7 YEARS I CAN CONFIRM: PRETTY SURE.
OKAY. I feel much better now.
