re: Is anyone else extremely paranoid about dating apps?

It's not really that hard to understand. People get uncomfortable or bored, and jam their phones in their faces. It is a quasi-alternate world that people can subconsciously be in when they are uncomfortable. While they're in that world, they can pretend to be with friends on vacation in Myrtle Beach, rafting down the Colorado River with a super-hunky doctor, imagining themselves putting on a new dress, etc. It is akin to someone intently reading 20 books at the same time.


Go talk to them and take their mind off of the phone. If they are bored, they are gonna look at their phone. Walk away when that happens
