I’m gearing app to get back in dating game
LONELY this Christmas? If you’re looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend to keep you warm and buy you some presents, it sounds like a plan, Stan.
It seems practically impossible to date this year during the pandemic. Is a socially distanced snog going to become a thing?
I’ve spoken to so many singletons in need of a good… cuddle, and I feel their pain.
The invention of the dating app may have been created with this year in mind but how do we manage our expectations and actually find something substantial and really go the distance?
Forget your profile pic that’s 10 years old and we all know how far editing apps have come. It’s all about the bio. I have to admit I may have recently stopped, mocked then transformed one of my good friend’s dating app bios to her dismay. All done in good faith and love. I shan’t name names, Stacey!
Her original bio was like a full-blown novel – no kids, travelled the world, likes art (news to me) favourite food: chips.
She’s going to kill me. My suggestion was, less is more. If a guy can learn all these facts about you so easily, why would he bother to ask you any more questions?
The same goes the other way. Ladies, we like a bit of mystery too.
Life is long, let’s take our time in getting to know each other and, let’s be honest, most people lie in their bios anyway.
Went skiing once, spent half the time in the Jagermeister tent. Hobbies: skiing.
It’s been a while since I’ve put myself out there using a dating app, I’m not sure why, as text chat Laura is fire. Jokes flow through me like the fine wine I’m usually drinking.
I find you can also quickly Google something the other person says that you don’t quite understand.
Quick, what’s my comeback? I must seem intelligent. You know it’s true.
Flirting can be fun behind a phone for a while, they’ll never know you’re sat like a sweaty mess on the sofa crying at Love Actually – sounds like most December nights.
Right, I’ve psyched myself up to get back in the game, I better call Stace to help me write my bio.
