Funny how folks interact. Yeah, I think online dating is designed to keep you single. If it worked, they would soon go out of business. Kind of like doctors who treat the symptom rather than the cause, because it pays so much more and guarantees repeat business. There was a time when you could find your sweetheart on dating sites. Today the pickins are slimmer. Add the fear of covid to the mix and it is near impossible.
I tend to think as we age, so too remaining apples on the tree. When you are young, there are plenty of fruit to be had. In time, many apples find their way to the ground, being the delight of worms. The best apples are high up in the tree, if you are willing to discover it. People are like those apples.
Yet, many of us remember the joy of loving someone and hope to find it again.
Definitely keeps me single!
