Online dating is fascinating in how bad it is. It's like 80% the fault of capitalism, and 20% users just doing a bad job and making it worse. People write messages no deeper than "lol" and "nm hbu" and then wonder why they don't have any interesting conversations like on the tv
Because of the meta. If you show too much enthusiasm too fast, it comes off as a red flag. Thus the low energy game of conversational investment chicken.
If you're actually trying to date, then enthusiasm being a red flag is itself a red flag. If you're just trying to hook up then yeah, follow "the meta".
