Maybe popular? RP in text and on dating apps is gross

r/

Whenever I see texts or messages in dating apps like:

X: Hey! How’s it going?
Y: blushes hi! fidgets nervously you’re cute! looks down at the ground

I instantly feel very grossed out and uncomfortable.

Just respond like a normal person. Please. Let me judge context from the message. I don’t need some made-up anime-like image in my head of your reaction. Which is also definitely not happening in the real world.

I say this as someone who doesn’t use dating apps or even texts much. I just see the interactions online all the time.

    I’d rather the RP than being inundated with stupidass emojis

    Is it even all that common of an occurrence?

    Incredibly popular opinion. People that do this are ridiculed in 99% of circles

    How often do you actually encounter this? I’ve literally never had an exchange over text, dating apps, social media, etc. where someone was doing that to me.

    THANK YOU that shit gives me the ick so fast it’s so weird and disingenuous like just talk wtf. I hate it so much. No one has ever done that to me but I see it in the wild and if anyone did I would unmatch soooooo fast like just be regular

    Oh god, this is a thing??

    If you don’t like it unmatch and move on. It weeds out people you probably wouldn’t get along with anyway.
