“This was a lovely night, dear. What you said about Derrida really made me think. And what I concluded was that you should date this guy I met four weeks ago at a psychometrics conference.” This is incredible dialogue for a movie I didn't know I wanted to see.
This was such a good read! I've been helping a friend with her dating profile and also had a conversation about dating apps on Notes recently. Someone mentioned that with online dating you start off on the assumption that “I'm only talking to you because I want a relationship” instead of “I'm talking to you because I want to”, and it made me think about how a lot of people on dating apps go into it looking for a romantic relationship and not a person. I like your approach, being head of people operations for the entire friend group, and redirecting people once you see where they could fit in. Lots of cool people one miss out on by swiping.
It is fascinating how there is always a new way to think about relationships and people. A little tweak here, a thought swapped for another there—lo and behold, your days and relationships take on a new form. Certainly going to try on this lens.
People need to meet each more often and in person. I’ve tried to get friends to meet / call / go have coffee / whatever. Sometimes they do sometimes they don’t. I no longer want to chaperone. They need to take the dive themselves. Lately everyone seems awful picky.... obviously why they’re still single. And they forget that it’s all and adventure, not an arranged marriage. Silly people.
