Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

I mean, I've always just dated people I know and have chemistry with. I don't see why you would ever need to cold call a stranger.
Imagine having social relations in the US in your 30s. :agony-shivering:
A lot of my 20s was spent going to big social events with lots of friends-of-friends-of-friends.
So there was some gray area between "people I already know" and "cold call on a random person". There's always some amount of introducing and "how did you end up here" ice breaking. But eventually, someone has to let the other person know they're interested.
I've said this elsewhere, but I think part of the problem is that real life social groups/communities are basically non-existent for a lot of people, so they feel like their only option is to seek out people exclusively for dating/sex instead of getting to know them before taking that step.
