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".
