When I use dating apps, the relationship normally doesnt get passed the texting phase.
Im never going to take a trip to the club and bump into someone while dancing.
Im never going to order a drink for a stranger across the bar.

Dating apps give me a chance to interact with people who spark my interest which should make dating easier.
Except it does not change much.
I might swipe right on someone who has swiped right on me.
I might start (or at least continue) a cute conversation over the attached messenger.
I might even gather up the courage to swap phone numbers so we can talk without the app.
However, Im still a homebody.
Im still nervous around new people.
When I use dating apps, the relationship normally doesnt get passed the texting phase.
I get too nervous about what might happen on our first official date.
I jump to the worst case scenario.
I worry we will have nothing to talk about face-to-face.
I worry they will find me unattractive in person.
I worry they will stand me up.
I worry they will venture to move too fast.

Unfortunately, I have a knack for creating problems where there arent any.
Dating apps give me the time and the tools to overanalyze every little thing.
I have the time to write out a reply ten times before figuring out which one to send.
I have the time to search the background of pictures, keeping an eye out for red flags.

A person who has a hard time overcoming her fears and opening her heart.
