Do people actually meet each other naturally anymore? It’d be nice to meet someone naturally than rely on dating apps (which is exhausting & just doesn’t feel real)

Met my current girlfriend organically - she was the teller at my bank branch that I’d see every other Saturday to deposit my paycheck (thanks archaic small-firm payroll practices!) She even made the first move… surprising since she could easily see my woeful account balance 💸💸

SC1 - well I showed up at the bank just a few minutes before it opened one day, right as she was walking up to the front door to clock in. It was after things started opening back up from COVID in our area, so it had been awhile since I’d been into the branch in person. We were both wearing masks but she recognized me and asked how I was doing. I told her I was surprised she recognized me with a mask on and since it had been so long, and she said she could never forget my beautiful eyes. Good thing I had that mask on, only thing keeping my jaw from hitting the floor!

The next time I came in, she gave me her number without even having to ask for it, which is good because I was struggling to get the courage to ask!

Almost every single one of my last boyfriends (last 3 years) I’ve met organically:

- one I met while working/volunteering on a theater set hanging lights
- one I met a friend’s birthday party
- one I met at work (when I was leaving the company and he was just joining) but we didn’t start dating until after I left

I don’t know any actual long term couples that got married or are getting married based on apps, so most people are still finding their person organically. There’s a study that says something like near 90% of people have already met the person they will wind up marrying by the time they’re 24, even if it happens years later. I’ve found that to be true based on what I’ve seen. A lot of old high school/college rekindling, exes, people who they’ve worked with for years, people who they used to work before, etc. marriages around me

I don’t use dating apps for dating. I match w/men & quickly move to text. A week later, we meet. I analyze their psychological makeup, set boundaries (only kissing). They want to meet again. I can’t. So we connect via text/video calls. I show my vulnerabilities, insecurities. They open. Trust is built. Subtly, I help them face their blindspots (mostly emotions little boys are taught to repress). Friendship replaces romance & I gently release them back into the dating pool. This is my work.

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*
