Week Nine: Going to Dinner (!?) with Dan

Halfway through the project, five dates in, and I… enjoy a date. Not ‘well, that’s over” enjoyment, not “we hooked up so that was chill,” enjoyment, but actual “time spent with a person who was good company” enjoyment. What a novelty.

I Try: Hinge

Sure, Tinder and Bumble are fine — but what about the modern woman who wants something more? (aka the bitch who’s already swiped through the entire region, aka me) There’s a whole app store full of alternative apps that hope to socially engineer our generation to happily ever after, each with their own…
