It used to be. But people are now pushed towards the dating equivalent of 'fast fashion', hookups via apps, throwaway relationships, shopping around for something new and exciting.

And then people get surprised that somehow it’s exhausting. It was not supposed to be used like that. Just like shopping in a fast fashion lifestyle is exhausting. Compared to buying long lasting outfit once in a while.

I've never dated in this mode before. It's it like... an interview?

haha yea basically, "dating with intention" can be pretty awkward

Plenty of couples don’t get married and have happy lives together.
