One afternoon after a long day of online classes, I was taking a break from the work and scrolling through my phone when an ad for a dating site came up.

I thought about it, wanting to scroll because the idea sounded stupid and unrealistic, but my boredom got the best of me and I found myself tapping on the ‘install’ button before I could think twice.

I set up a profile but forgot about it for a month or so until I saw a message one night from a girl who had come across my profile.
