why dating in the bay hits different 🥲

feeling nostalgic about dating in NYC, London, and Hong Kong… the Bay Area scene just hits SO different, and not in a good way 💔 here, every date feels like a LinkedIn networking event - bright cafes, casual boba runs, and sterile coffee chats. where’s the romance? the ambiance? the slight tipsiness that makes conversations flow? i miss those dimly lit restaurants, those spontaneous bar hops, those late-night walks through empty streets. miss how dates could turn into gallery visits or thought-provoking shows - actually getting to know someone’s soul, not just their resume. bay area dating is so… sober. so practical. so startup-culture. maybe i’m just too old-school, but whatever happened to the magic of falling in love? 🌃✨ #DatingInTheBay #BayAreaLife #DatingCulture
