I'm saving for a house, so expensive nights out were off the table. The math never worked out: hundreds of matches and almost zero actual dinners. My brother insists the good ones aren't online, and honestly I'd love to prove him wrong. After the third friend recommended it, I agreed to give dating for truck drivers a clean slate and my genuine effort. Not bad at all for something I almost talked myself out of. The rest of the year suddenly looks a lot more interesting than it did.
