Is modern dating like a poorly structured script too many subplots, no satisfying third act?"

Modern Dating Feels Like a Messy First Draft Anyone Else?

Lately, I’ve been noticing how dating these days reminds me of a script that’s all over the place. Swiping through profiles is like flipping through disjointed scenes some intriguing, others confusing, and most lacking a clear arc. You meet someone great, but then a random ex reappears (subplot!), or things fizzle right when they should be building toward something meaningful.

As a massage therapist, I see how people carry their dating stress physically, and as a screenwriter, I can’t help but analyze the structure or lack of it. Are we all just stuck in a never-ending second act, or is there a way to rewrite the narrative? How do you find focus in the chaos? Would love to hear your take.

Oh, how original to compare dating to a screenplay. Maybe if people stopped treating relationships like a creative writing project, they’d actually connect. But sure, keep overanalyzing it’s clearly working so well for everyone.

Wow, someone’s bitter. Maybe if you stopped projecting your failed romances onto everyone else, you’d see the irony in your own rant. Keep crying about it.

Lol the projection is real. Stay mad tho.
