I don't use dating apps, so I'm still always carrying a stack of papers when I go outside

A classic romantic, eh?

Maybe I should start being late to stuff with a slice of toast in my mouth.

Nah, I'm defying conventions. I guess I'm just a rebel.

Yes, that's literally the only way we met people. That's why we took a stack of important papers to the nightclub.

It was plain burdensome.

Are you a sketch artist?

You could also be carrying groceries while bumping into people!

I do often buy exactly two loaves of french bread

Same, but my business is my own.

[–] Stuka@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Is that the part I've been missing? Damn, so simple.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Don't forget bumping heads while simultaneously reaching for the same dropped object.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

But then again, there were no other apps either so you had to print out the maps, chats, ... and automatically walked around with a huge stack of important papers.

In other words: we need dating apps because of all the other apps.

Or time things Just right, to accidentally drop something and reach down at the same time to pick it up. Or reach for the same book/grocery/product.

That's not true. You could also lose your ultra-demanding job, move back to the small town you grew up in, only to accidentally fall into the water and get pulled out by the rough but handsome former highschool classmate who never left.

I would guilty pleasure watch that.

You could also go around absentmindedly eating directly from a jar of peanut butter in the hopes of crashing into someone doing the same with a large unwrapped chocolate bar.

Those relationships usually started out rocky and accusatory, but both parties inevitably realized that they worked great together.

Nah we went to bars like sane people. Meeting on dating apps is dangerous /s

Mm so maybe that's why spy's are always depicted as sexy
