Why Online Dating Encourages Flakiness
The date is easily acquired
If we don’t work hard for something, we aren’t as attached to it. If all it takes to get a date is to send a few well-constructed direct messages, it’s easier to just bail on that date if something better comes up. It’s not like you had to buy that person a drink at a bar or make any real effort to get that date. You’ll drop it as easily as you got it.
