we were voice noting and like video messaging and video calling every day so intimate all throughout the day yeah and it's so weird to then like end and it was not official or anything like that and it's fine but like it's weird to then because you're telling friends about it and they're like oh but it was only like a handful of days like four days whatever and you're like

Yeah, but like the equivalent of four dates now is not the equivalent of our parents' four dates.

So true.

Their four dates, they only knew four dates worth of information about each other.

Yeah.

So they're like just getting on to like, what's your favorite color or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whereas like four dates across several months of voice noting and all that stuff, it's this weird middle ground where it's like, yeah, of course you don't know them that well because you've not physically met that many times.

But at the same time, you know so much about them.

Yeah.

We were like, well, I know what your sister felt about her first marriage or like whatever.

You have all this intimacy with them.

And I'm going to start, like, joining, like, a tennis social and stuff to just, like, try and meet people normally.

Who cares about that?
