Burner account but I swear I'm a real person here. Hopefully I don't thoroughly dox myself but I'm in my thirties and have, for the first time, been forced to use the dating apps. I hate them. However, I (a cis guy) matched with a vegan, communist (based on profile) woman around my age and now I'm banging my head against a wall trying to think of like how to start a convo? I'm so old and stupid, irl I'm not really that worried about meeting people but this is messing with me.
Edit: to clarify, I am also a vegan communist
some say it's much harder to meet people to date offline now that so many people are just using the apps --> less people doing things IRL where they might meet eligible dates
I can't say whether this is accurate or not since I'm basically a hermit who hasn't had a social life for my entire adulthood
