Dimples on the Edge

Dating in 2024

What an absolute horror. What’s a lover girl to do when the only offerings available range from mid-twenty year olds that love bomb and ghost, to early-fifty somethings that get so enraptured that they overspend and then blame her for it? And let’s not even mention the thirty- & forty-whatevers that are so emotionally unavailable that they only send periodic texts to string her along and then disappear?

It’s an awful and exhausting time to be a dating in these dark days. What is even more devastating is that this is across the gender spectrum, so even being bi/pan/queer offers no relief from the struggle. The disinterest and general apathy is palpable and the air is charged with misery.

As an international lover girl, things are no brighter across any borders. One must persevere, or at least trudge through, with friends as their compatriots-in-arms.
