Not sure if you know or not but I met my partner on Match.co in 2002 before online dating turned into the cesspool it is now. Dating before that was just as hard and hit or (alot of) miss.
I don't understand why it's so hard? Is it because the majority of society is so emotionally stunted? Is that it? Is it because societal expectations of dating/relationships is so skewed that we have a hard time fitting into those narratives that we muck everything up?
