I don't mean to say that I disbelieve you; it's just that it's so different from my personal experience and my social circle that I have a hard time even imagining this. There's just always something happening, meeting someone from Tinder, chatting each other on Twitter (which, I must say, seems to be more hookup-friendly than Tinder even), bumping into people at parties... I mean, sometimes I catch the lonely vibe and don't go out for weeks, but I've never lost this feeling that there's always this life out there, and it happens to everyone who's not in something serious.
