I have meant to write this piece for a long time but kept delaying it. Been so busy coping with my new life with this new job in a new country which I have been doing for a year now. Anyway, my last entry was me now being 33 and still single so I thought, maybe, I should try signing up for dating apps.
Let me start by warning you that these apps aren't for everyone really. I have questioned these apps but still I signed up just for the heck of it. I don't know, maybe because I really hate socializing so you won't find me in pubs or clubs all by myself. That is just not me. It is possible to find me in a library but realizing I am not in some romantic comedy film made me think it is impossible for the future love of my life just popping out of nowhere while I sit there crying over some YA novel that I'm probably too "old" to even be reading.
Anyway, after swiping right in a couple of dating apps. Here are some things I've learned from it.
- MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT BEING CATFISHED is the first of course. Have you seen Sweet Bobby on Netflix? Need I say more?
- Don't wear your heart on your sleeve (unless you're both sure that you are each other's THE ONE)
- BE SAFE, ALWAYS. Oh god you just don't want to be the subject of the next Netflix documentary.
What else? There's really a lot more to say. I haven't been on many dates to be honest. I always trust my gut feel on the person who I am talking with. If my gut says no, then we will not even go on first date.
I've met one, still talking to that one, but I'm still not sure if he's the one, if I'm the one, or what.
Well, that's another story to tell.
Oh dear, I just swiped right and it's a crazy ride. What did I signed up for?
Xo,
Ria
