This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I got lucky, met my other half at uni, and I can't imagine how shitty dating must be for people who weren't as lucky as I am.

I see people meeting through apps, but I also see a whole bunch of unhappy people who don't know how to meet other people.

Yeah, I think apps are particularly awful because you're there specifically to find romance, and if you don't find it, there really is no consolation prize. If you go out and meet people, even if you don't find romance, you'll at least meet interesting people and maybe make a few friends.

So that's why I recommend people avoid apps and instead force themselves into social situations.
