it’s just you hear so many horror stories about it all. both about the apps themselves and just from people’s bad relationships in general. it’s a huge life change to go from single to actively going on dates [or whatever the term is], i feel like, because you’re being emotionally vulnerable, which is important / challenging, and committing to a lasting thing ostensibly as well. and i’d have to make sure my apartment is cleaner in all the specific neat little ways.

i mean i want to message back but every time it’s like i stress myself out and overanalzye what they said and what i should say and i can’t even enjoy it – does anyone enjoy that part?
