Online dating apps are the latest fad these days! I wonder what makes such idea thrive in the market even though all I have heard about such apps, from their very own users, is that its “not worth it”!
So I thought why not find out. And what better way to explore a system than be a part of it! So I created my profiles on different dating apps. Now just to make entriely sure, I am not here for marketing any one particular dating app, I will avoid naming any one in particular.
The good part about these apps which I liked was that I could be anyone I wanted to be! Although I never used a fake identity for my profile, but the very possibility gave an insecure girl like me, a sense of calmness that I can disappear or can be someone nobody knows…. 🙂
Well, I met lot of guys here. I wouldn’t say all of them wanted to get down to the “business” right away. 1% of the guys I chatted/talked to were fun and very real! We talked about work, our fears, our happiness, our past, our present very smoothly. And it would be beautiful until we both come to a realization that he ain’t getting what he secretly hope for ( the business) and I ,too, am not getting what I , obviously repeatedly and foolishly enough, hope for ( hope for this to get real).
Every. Single.Time! And for the records, it hurts equally bad everytime.
So I stopped with my little experiment. Deleted all my profile. And I came up with the rationale that when you are on those dating apps, you are bound to be tagged with words like ‘Overthinker’ ‘Emotional’ ‘DTF’ and even the sanest guy, with all due respect , would want you to go that road , respectfully!
I am noone to claim if that’s right or not. But as I said before, it sucks so bad when you meet a legit guy and it ends the same usual way! You are left hanging in the middle , hoping that he might call back or something.
To some this may sound desperate and to some, this might sound like their own story. But I just wonder, isn’t finding love a need of a human?! Its not gender-bound. Then why wouldn’t someone want to work out on something so almost-real!
