day 37

Playing it cool is thoroughly overrated. I’m just going to come out here and say it. And also in a pandemic world, why bother? The classics are: leave it a day to text back. Don’t initiate contact or the first date. Ignore them at the party. Flirt with their friends. Don’t watch their instagram story. But when dating is mostly virtual at the moment, how do these rules translate? No one notices if you take a while to text someone back on a dating app. Most people run through phases, a high octane swipe session, ignoring or deleting the app for a week, and then like a cheap drug, coming back to it.
