I don't even know what dating in actual life is because dating now has become through apps, which is annoying. Although very convenient I must say, it is very annoying swiping to find your potential lover.

So what happened to asking people out in person and why do we hide behind these apps? Are we nervous to approach each other in person if we find one another attractive? Are boys getting lazy? Are girls playing hard to get?

Tinder, for instance, I must say is a simple yet fun app. You swipe if you like someone or swipe if you don't. It has become quite the hookup app though for people who just want to smash and bail. However, you may find a couple of good ones on there to actually date. What mind bottles me though is trying to figure out who you will actually like through someone's online profile, then chatting them and seeing if you get a vibe. But what happens when the person you meet does not seem like the person behind the messages? I am not talking cat fishing here; I am talking that their personality really does not match how they "sounded" through text.

That has happened to me before from the many tinder dates I have attempted to go on. The person is not who they appear to seem as fun as they were in texts. This is the disappointing part. At least when someone asks you out in public, you have an idea of what they look and sound like.

I wish we could live in the good old days sometimes where apps did not exist and we had no choice but to talk to someone in person. We would have no choice but to face our fear and just ask out who we wanted. The worst thing that happens is we say no.

But then I guess that "no" given to someone asking someone out on a date can get rough. So we hide behind the apps hoping to find someone that won't give us that no; if they do, we just un-match them.

I am just over dating apps because it still does not seem like anyone wants to actually date anymore. They may be called dating apps, but they seem to be more of hook-up apps these days.

I want one of those really cheesy love stories where I met someone at work or at a bar, but that seems to be setting my expectations too high.

So I can continue on these apps, hope I meet someone in person or buy five cats.
