hot take but dating is not as interesting as ppl make it out to be. like it’s really not. nobody is THAT fascinating. idk i just feel like as I’ve dated more ppl, the more boring the dating process has gotten. like u can only learn so much abt a person.

im gonna be so honest i feel like this is more of a reflection of your own experiences and the partners you’ve chosen

I feel like maybe you’re just not genuinely interested in your partners

for context, the reason i use the word “interesting” is because i feel like all of these shows like love island and shit make dating appear to be this super deep thing. it’s really not especially in 2025 and if ur young. it is all transactional and shallow. and it’s kind of always been that way tbh we’re just more shameless abt it now

or like these tiktok dating creators where they share all the lessons they learned from dating and it’ll be like some shit like “so uhh turns out just cuz u have a lot of $ doesn’t mean you’ll attract the woman of your dreams. u actually have to like uhhhh listen to her and communicate healthily.” LIKE YEA BRO. these are basic human things that you’re discovering as a 25 year old.

I don’t think it’s all that different from making a new friend, but that doesn’t make it uninteresting. I guess I also just don’t really feel romantically/sexually attracted to people unless I find them interesting as a person, so for me a relationship really is just an extra close friendship
