Basically me on dating apps


I’m almost done the mountain of long-form work I accidentally took on all at the same time. In the mean time, have a post that basically describes me on dating apps:

Hi, Lauren –

Thank you for your interest in the position of David’s Girlfriend. We reviewed your profile, and we are excited to extend an invitation to a first date. The date will last approximately one hour. Please reply with your availability and your preference for a coffee meeting or light outdoor physical activity (i.e. walking, visiting a park).

Best regards,

Susan

Sounds great! I could do coffee at 2pm Saturday.

Lauren

    So dating apps are more or less identical to arranged marriages in Japan?
    (as seen in Japanese TV sit-coms)

    While I wouldn’t do this to a woman (I’m kind of old fashioned), the program itself would be nice. I settle on this day for the fact that my first long lasting relationship was love at first sight.

    Based on your body of work here, and your delightful comments, I hope it’s a joke, that you’d be Lauren.
