Bumbling around Dublin, it moreso reminded me of the Ukranian national colours, which are themselves all over Dublin at the moment in solidarity with their country continuing to grapple with the Russian invasion.

So #SlavaUkraini

Героям слава!

Meanwhile, back to the bus...

Meeting people online is always interesting.

It can be the best place to meet people and, simultaneously, the worst. And, sometimes, it's just average.

I met some of my closest and most valued friends through social media before it was called that. Some of my lovers who have since become good friends I also met that way.

I've always seen it as an equally valid way of meeting people, like dancing with and talking to someone at a club or a bar. Meeting them at a gig or meeting them through a friend. Just that you can have a more involved conversation without shouting into each other's ears…

Dating apps are no different, though the intent is generally more overt.

I mean, I always went into meeting anyone from Friendster or Myspace with the view of meeting them as friends. Even if it ended up that we became more than that.

If you go into meeting people through dating apps with that same thinking, I think you're seen as disingenuous.

I'd rarely claim I was "in a relationship" with someone I met in a club less than two months after we met but starting from friendship seems "the wrong way of using a dating app" to some.

There are potentially many "wrong ways" to use a dating app. Finding clients. Finding Instagram followers. But, to be honest, even none of those are "wrong", in my view.

The only thing "wrong" is being dishonest with yourself and others about why you're using the app.

I currently have multiple professional and personal interactions with people I've met through dating apps across the spectrum of "why".

I know why I'm on those apps, but I'm open to why others are and don't impose my reasons on them. I just choose which connections I make.

And, worst-case scenario: I make some new friends along the way to finding a life partner, or I spend time (virtually or in-person) with someone that might not be a good match.

Do I honestly think I'll find a life partner on a dating app?

I'm sure I'll tell you if I do.
