I just think dating is a scam like 90% of the time. Joker voice And I’m tired of pretending it’s not
I can buy the concept of romance existing but the social song and dance of Dating specifically is so, like. Ok. So we’re all just expected to walk around performing desirability & having coffee with people you find mildly interesting & Hopefully you will Feel Something for one of them. & if you keep it up long enough you can get legally bound and financially dependent on each other and have kids or something, not because you want them but because you’re so fucking normal. This is supposed to be your #1 priority in life btw. Are you insane?
And people will be like “you’ll never be happy if you don’t successfully have coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting, it’s so sad that you’re not having coffee with someone you think is mildly interesting” & I’m sitting here like I don’t think that’s true actually I think I’m doing pretty good. I have other things fulfilling my admittedly lower than average need for human connection, like friends
