This was me in my 20s before I met my wife. After college I just wanted a girlfriend and maybe a wife but I hated the process of dating and just wanted to get to an LTR. I had a few opportunities for short term hookup and one with a married woman my age who I was really attracted to and the feeling was mutual but the logical side of my brain overwhelmed the horny side. Thankfully. Dating apps will always exist in one form or another because of desperation. Plus people aren’t honest with themselves about what they want and abuse these platforms.
