And I'm not going to lie, meet up is absolutely amazing for both making friends and dating. It's been phenomenally more effective for me versus dating apps. It's how I meet one of my previous partners ( more like we met because I mistook her for someone else, but life is random fun).
That said, when I'm dating someone like now, I don't socialize nearly as much. It takes a very real amount of energy to do so. Online socializing, also takes that energy. So when I get home I'm in my temple, and I don't let all that social media drama into my temple. It's done wonders for my mental health, back when I was heavily in the social media and online dating apps I was very nervous and miserable almost all the time. I'm half convinced the never-ending notifications are designed to make us all a little bit crazy, and very addicted. It can be easier to drop it all and go for a walk. Occasionally you ask for directions and end up getting coffee...
