One of those moments where I feel like I need to explicitly state that posting a link is not an endorsement lmfao

I wonder if this’ll be successful at all

What do they have against ghosts going out on spooky dates

Modern dating seems like such a nightmare as someone who met their long term partner before tinder was a thing.

It sounds like there are good ideas here mixed in with some iffy choices.

Real, glad I’m out of the dating game

For real. I’ve thought to myself if my partner and I split, that’ll probably be it for me as far as dating goes. Heard too many nightmare stories to want to try to navigate the modern landscape, especially as I get older.

Salute friend Ive more or less relegated myself to just potentially meeting someone IRL. dating apps are probably the most evil piece of software aside from those apps made to trick kids into spending thousands of their parents money.

I met my long term partner on Tinder but like… It was a nightmare then (8 years ago) and I’ve heard that it’s only gotten worse.

why meet on dating sites when you can meet on/at:

≫ dangan ronpa rp forum
≫ anime convention while cosplaying a pro wrestler
≫ through a mutual friend/partner

Man, dating apps and the draw of “dating culture” (vague as hell but you know what I mean) is… not quite “confusing” to us, but viscerally doesn’t match who we are…

(elaboratory musings)

Definitely mainly comes down to being not not cis, not straight, not monogamous, not neurotypical, and feeling completely mismatched with the social forces that drive it. (Personal feelings ofc, people are so so different to each other even when they’re the same in some ways)
Always been the type to like to date someone we already know well and trust, who we have an established dynamic and “good chemistry” with.

Dropping pickup lines at a bar or swiping … whichever direction you swipe idk … on an app are alien activities we have no interest in participating in, when we could instead wait to confess feelings for some close friend we suspect might have feelings back.
So all that to say I have no credentials to be making judgments on “After”.

But wow this feels like a so-scary app to use ? who wants thiis. I can’t imagine wanting to be sent Survey Results on why some rando stopped messaging mee. Can’t help thinking about people who send asks to people they unfollow on tumblr or whatever explaining exactly who they have left.

“After Wrapped” section where at the end of the year you can see the #1 reason from the list people selected for why they disappeared on you
