At 24, I paid $102.32 to find love
( CNN) Sitting on the sofa in my New York apartment, I sipped some wine and hesitantly typed the last few digits of my debit card into a subscription box on a paid date site. At the time, I was a 24 -year-old producer traveling the country, embracing breaking news and the 2016 election. I had constructed a network of great colleagues and friends.
Since graduating college, dating had felt like two seconds undertaking, and not a particularly enjoyable one at that. A lot of guys I encountered on Hinge, Bumble and other dating apps seems to merely want to date “casually.”
