Hello Stranger,

         In the world of modern dating, girls apparently make the first move. It is us who should initiate the first hi or hello, especially on this yellow dating application where you can meet new people– or should I say strangers.

         If I'm being completely honest with you, I'm not sure what I'm doing on this app. Am I looking for a relationship? The answer is no. Am I looking for some hookup? I'm too scared of that. Would I love to have a friend? It's nice but I'm not that friendly. Could it be that I'm looking for validation? Since as what other people say, "if you have more swipes then there are a lot of people who find you pretty". Huh, I suppose that's the most probable reason?

          Anyway, Mr. Stranger, in this world of modern dating I feel like I have made a wrong move: I made the wrong swipe on you. So now, I have no choice but to actually message you otherwise it would be rude for me to leave you hanging like that.

         Please know that sometimes I am courageous enough to start a conversation... and the rest of those times, well I am here and writing a letter because I don't know what to do.

         See, that's the reason why I ended up sending a random message that says "Hey, I heard you have a question for me!" I was hoping you weren't cool enough to actually think of a better response for that.

         I waited for hours. And when I thought you wouldn't reply anymore, I was proven wrong almost immediately.

         You replied.

         Oh no!

Panicking,
Nadie
