Online dating is such a lonely, sobering pursuit. It’s so hard to find a person that isn’t completely terrible, let alone a person you actually want to talk to. Alarm bells ring all the time. Entire websites seem to be made of tiny little red flags popping up in everyone’s profiles.
Outside of work and family, I rarely interact with people with whom I don’t have a lot in common, and it seems I somehow let myself believe that there were a lot more people like me in the world than there actually are. It turns out that it’s really, really hard to find someone who is not horrifyingly pretentious and ignorant to have an interesting conversation with.
TL;DR: I haven’t had sex in nearly a month and I’m going bonkers. Like, I maintain what I just wrote about conversation, because I don’t want to meet with a random stranger just for sex, but. Honestly.
