I’m A Hopeless Romantic On A Dating App And I Hate It

I know plenty of people who can be casual and not get attached to or emotionally invested in someone.

I dont know how, though, because thats not me.

When I moved to Brooklyn, I knew the possibilities were endless…but how?

A friend convinced me to download Tinder and meet guys that way, so I did.

After 45 minutes of genuinely trying, I deleted the app for good.

My roommate then told me to download Hinge instead.

At least thats whatIthought.

At first I felt empowered.

I liked having the power to reject guys after so many had rejected me in the past.

Then he told me he didnt want anything labeled or anything serious.

He just wanted to hookup.

It didnt work out for us.

A relationship that didnt go well for me.

Was I frustrated and ready to give up on dating apps forever?

Im living in a hookup culture and I hate it.

Dating apps just arent my thing.

Theres too many guys Im not attracted to or interested in.

I want to spend my time with and give my love and affection to one person.

Im a hopeless romantic and thats just who I am.
