ONLINE DATING
Iris knew that the online dating world could be a stressful environment and had proved hopeless for many of her friends. When she began using the dating apps, she quickly determined which guys were serious and honest, and which ones wanted to take advantage of. She told herself she was just testing things out and that she wouldn’t let herself get messed around.
Still, she was enjoying the buzz of matching with people, talking to them, and going through their photos. Although she wasn’t convinced that these matches would go anywhere, she was proud of herself for taking the first steps out of loneliness. And besides, a lot of these men were more charming than she’d ever imagined.
