CMV: Adult dating is lacking the fun and romantic tension that dating as teenagers had
As a teenager dating used to be exciting and spontaneous. Meeting each other in person and then slowly getting to know each other as friends of friends. The first time she came close to you - even holding hands or her sitting on your lap stirred up big feelings. The big question if you would end up dating or not.
Now its online swiping and then you go on predefined dating encounters. Both know what the point is, you have polite conversation. Like a job interview you kind of find out whether they fit the bill or not. Maybe you go home and have sex but she done that with so many men at this point its not really special anymore. It feels like you are her routine where she kinda does what she always does - probably many men are like this too.
I miss when you could tell it was exciting and special for her to kiss a guy. When the whole thing wasnt a routine game. It used to be that girls dressed up to impress guys and guys tried hard to look cool for the ladies. As adults now its like no one really tries or cares - everyone is too cool for effort. Appealing to others is taboo. Its like all the fun parts need to be toned down in the name of "maturity".

I’m realizing I don’t need to fix myself as often as I thought
A lot of my “self-improvement” was just me being too hard on myself. Lately, I’m trying acceptance instead
I am a talentless person who doesn't know what I want from life.
I'm 18 years old. I don't know what to do with my life. Until now, I've spent all my time playing computer games and reading modern fiction. I've never had a thirst for knowledge. I wanted to join the army, but I have very poor eyesight, -8; -8.5, and I'm a scrawny guy, so I just wouldn't pass the medical examination. I'm definitely not a tech person, and I'm unlikely to be a humanities person either, because I'm simply dumb and uneducated. Programming doesn't interest me at all. I'm just a basic consumer, really. Lately, I've started getting interested in history and the history of painting, but I'll definitely lose in competition to people who have been interested in this stuff almost since they were in diapers. I'd like to hear stories from people who have been through something similar. How did you find your path? What do you do now? I'll probably be frying chicken at KFC my whole life, and lately, that prospect has started to bother me.
Today is my birthday. My cat died the day before yesterday.
She was very old, but it was still a shock, and it happened in front of me. I don't know what I am going to do without her. I don’t even know what the point of this post is. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.
Edit: I have been reading every comment. Thank you so much for all of the kindness and support. It means more than I can express with words.
