Welcome to the dating world, where everything is a mystery, and nothing makes a damned bit of sense.

Play games, waste people’s time, pretend to be someone you’re not, and demand ungodly expectations from someone you barely even know. It’s 2023. Let’s roll the old dice, shall we? Playing games in love is like juggling soap bubbles — flashy but ultimately empty and bound to burst.

But, most importantly, let’s have some fun and open up a dialogue in the comments because isn’t that what dating is all about?
