Am I the only who feels people don’t express genuine interest in each other anymore?

I have had genuine crushes on people in high school and university, but I noticed that especially in the last few years meaning of dating has changed drastically. I remember there was a thing as such as your classmates in school liking you and wanting to form a relationship and there was at least some form of physical connection that brought you together. But now with online dating apps it seems people don’t even really like each other and it’s a way of finding someone to hook up etc. not saying this is a bad thing or anything but I do feel like we lost some of that genuine connections that people form in school, work etc. which is why it is harder to find new people to date

Yeah. Because there's really no reason to. People really don't want relationships most the time. Because relationships require effort. And people simply don't want to put any effort forth. So they flirt a little, guage your reaction, and the if you bite they keep reeling you in a flirting. But they know at some point you expect them to give back. And that's when they decide this has run it's course. This is why I don't even try to date. I know most women simply don't want to give anything.

That's exactly what it is people only care about hook ups these days no one really cares about genuine connections that actually bring people together and garner interest in each other and forming actual meaningful relationships.

Dating apps just make it that much more soulless.

Every time I express genuine interest in anyone, they get weirded out or insult me. So I just don't now.

The people who use dating apps for hookups will be held accountable for their actions in the End Times. (Or the Purge. Whichever comes first.)

You are correct. Social media has ruined dating and courtship.
