Online dating isn’t for the faint of heart

Right now I may be quite far out of the loop that is dating, but sometimes I get really happy about that fact when I hear the horror stories. It may look like fun, but it’s a real lion’s den out there.

As a girl, dating today tends to mean sacrificing the clearly misconstrued thoughts of that special man we dreamed of as youngin’s. You know, the sort of guy who wouldn’t use Tinder premium even if it was free.

It also usually means sacrificing the essentials of a serious relationship too.

Millennial have notoriously created the most shallow types of relationships and as far as I’ve gathered, sensitive people and shallow relationships don’t go together. They never have and never will. The problem is, it’s so hard to dodge those types of relationships these days.

Sensitive girls can get shattered at the first disappointment. Like when you confess those three little words and he says “I thought we were just friends.” That’s just one of so many lines people hear these days and really, who is to blame? It’s hard to keep track of what is and isn’t acceptable when there are so many different types of relationships. Who knows what they’re signing up for?

If you can’t handle something like that, girlfriend: do not get a Tinder and actually have high expectations — or any expectations for that matter. It may be labeled a dating app, but the whole world knows it’s really for hookups.

When you’re sensitive, you have to play it smart so that you don’t end up drowning you and your best friend in an ocean of your tears.

The way I see it, you have one option.

Stop using apps like Tinder and OKCupid. All you’re going to do is aggravate yourself to tears. Turning into a real life Tinderella is too rare to risk it. If you want to date so badly, just wait for somebody you find you can trust.

Obviously, there are just as many people you can meet in person that would be just as greasy as anyone you could meet on Tinder, but at least you won’t be setting yourself up for it. Sometimes you just can’t avoid them.

But dating the way many people do today just isn’t for people like us, so don’t try it.
