‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

I think I might also be demi and I don't know what to go after with these apps. I try to talk to anyone who doesn't look like a serial killer but it feels like I'm supposed to make a sexual impression of some kind to get them interested in talking to me. So if it's an app where you swipe I'm basically swiping yes on everybody and I'm completely rudderless.

There are some dating apps/services that don't use images until you've agreed to like each other but I live in Canada and the nearest other users are either from Europe or South America (the continent) on all of them.
