    Good to hear. I hope you continue having lots of fruitful relationships, you seem like a reflective person.

    I actually think being physically intimate allows two people to become closer, unless they’re asexual, of course (sounds like you might be).

    And I agree with you about shallow relationships but, imo, it’s dating apps that cause the problem, not sex.

    Dating apps do not always allow relationships to blossom naturally. Tinder dates (or whatever) can feel more like job interviews. Real yucky stuff.

      I agree that physical intimacy can make people become closer, but I’m not always sure that’s for the best. I think it’s better kept as something to enjoy after a deeper bond has already formed. Anyway, I’m not asexual but I am somewhere on that spectrum, not sure where though. Also yeah… when my friends tell me about their tinder dates I can’t believe how transactional and almost algorithmic their date sounds. It’s such a shame that it’s the norm now.
