Okay, I admit it, I fell off the wagon. Hey, relapse is part of the healing process, right? They say you have to stop being so hard on yourself! Last March, I took a big step forward in my break from dating apps. I managed to permanently delete my account on the only app I’d been using for years, without ever finding love or even meeting anyone interesting. I lasted a month before (re)installing Tinder and upgrading to a Gold subscription. I’m so weak, but it’s summer!

I had already tried Tinder in the past. With disastrous results, to say the least. A few hookups, maybe? And even those were lame for the most part! Except for the Portuguese girl! That was a few weeks’ fling.

Ah, the Portuguese girl. Haven’t I told you about her? Her name was Clémentine. She must still be called Clémentine, if she’s still alive. I think I’ve already written here that her gaze transported me to another galaxy. She would look at me and I was crazy with desire. Unfortunately, she didn’t want a serious relationship with me.
