Is romance dead? Let your inbox decide.
Did you hesitantly download Tinder after yet another family dinner with remarks about the lack of grandkids around the table? Or maybe you woke up with notifications from questionable matches found a few too many tequila shots in the night before? Perhaps you can blame your new Grindr addiction on your favourite rom-com that makes you smile but also lowkey breaks your heart? Or maybe it is time to admit that you are just in for the hell of it?
Dating should, in theory, be easier than ever now that we have countless dating apps just a click away. After all, it is the perfect space to try all the cheesiest pickup lines you found in Cosmo but would never dream of telling someone to their face. Flirting, sexting, and simple banter; it can all be done while being dressed in your favourite PJs and in the safety of your very own bedroom. Because what is the worst thing that can happen, right? If you do not feel the spark, you do not even need to walk away. All you have to do is delete the match and continue swiping. But is this digitalised and modern way of dating at the expense of classical romance?
Whether you have planned the perfect date with your partner for weeks, are spending the day with friends or simply could not care less about Cupid’s kiss, you have to agree that there is no better way to celebrate Valentine’s day than by sharing some of your best/worst dating app opening lines.
