You’d always assumed dating apps were stupid. That they were for desperate people who couldn’t communicate with others. Which is why it felt humiliating to have downloaded one at age 30!

You spent weeks of scrolling through ridiculous, toxic profiles. Men who didn’t know what they wanted, ‘conservative’ men, and men who simply seemed boring.

Until you discovered one profile. A man located in Manchester. He was retired from the military and looking for an easy life now, in search of a long-term relationship. Admittedly him being Ex military was an “orange flag”.

He didn’t want kids— which you were relieved about! Most men who were looking for long term on this app seemed to want kids.

And he was definitely attractive! Over 6’4, big brown eyes, and tattoos (not the boring generic ones).
