On a recent afternoon I contemplated deleting all the dating apps off of my phone. So far nothing has come from them for me, and I often feel hollow swiping left and right to people's profiles, especially when it becomes an automatic activity for when I'm bored. Maybe I should read something? Even scrolling through Twitter might be more fulfilling than deciding whether someone's selfie merits browsing through more of their selfies.

This led to reminiscing on why I originally downloaded dating apps.
