Online dating feels like I'm spending a currency I don't get back. Every failed interaction, every conversation that just ends, every time I open up a new DM with a new guy out of boredom, I feel like I'm losing something I never get back. Anyone else know this feel?
>>43209823you're definitely wasting time, maybe that's it
>>43209898feels like more than that. Calling it a piece of my soul sounds really cheesy and not really accurate, but kinda close to the feeling. Am I really the only one going through this?
>>43209823>>43210106nah i agree it feels like im aging my soul by subjecting my self to online dating. i feel like id be less cynical if i had never been on a dating app
>>43210106No, i feel something similar. To me, it's my sense of self worth that kind of just fades away. Talking to some guy who has nothing in common with me, probably just wants sex, just so i can have a chance at feeling loved.
>>43210210>just so i can have a chance at feeling loved.>a chanceThis is striking a chord that I don't understand.It's a transaction, but I don't understand what I'm trading or who I'm trading it with. Coz I'm pretty sure it's not the guy I'm talking to. And it's not just a silicon valley thing either, because I'm getting the same feeling with discord adds off /soc/.
