OPINION: Dowdy's Look At The Dating Scene

 

PORT SAINT LUCIE, Florida (FLAN 35)- Are you in your mid 20's to early 30's and beginning to think the dating scene is totally crushed? In a world full of online dating, it seems like less and less people are intimately connecting. It also feels like it has only been getting worse since Covid. Tinder is full of bots, and swiping and reading profiles is getting exhausting.

I personally have been gathering the courage to flirt with women in public, but even getting to know someone is tough now. I feel like a lot of people are not looking for traditional love anymore, or have simply given up. Why is it that we do not communicate on a personal level in person anymore? Have we grown so small that everything has to be over text?

I refuse to believe that. I think that since COVID, people have gotten accustomed to the social distancing ways that we were taught, and now our communication is taking a toll because of it. 

Besides on a intimate level, are you having trouble finding friends as well? Let us know in the comments!
