@delishtreats,

It sounds like you had similar experience already Quill :D

The Quill character (me), and my unapologetically having the hots for Sela Ward, were real ... the rest was pure fiction. :-)

FYI: I have never used Tinder, or any other online dating app, and now, having contemplated the consequences ... never will.

I'm old-fashioned ... I prefer slow-Romance as it is the 'process of mutual seduction' that creates the fire and, eventually, the 'ties that bind.' Our brains have evolved, over millions of years, to make sex the dessert, not the apéritif. I've studied too much psychology, sociology and neuroscience to believe that we can change the order of things without short-circuiting the system.

Seduction and romance take time and effort and are supposed to be Curation processes.

Look at this gal ignoring this poor fella. Personally, I think he's doing a great job and I hope she, eventually, acknowledges his efforts. One way or the other, though, this is the way it's supposed to work and it's hubris to think that we can, or ought try, to 'fix it.'

Swipe right ... please ... that's not how we were designed to dance.
