Dating – spontaneity or the fine art of deception?

I had a recent discussion about dating sites with a millennial. At one point, Coffee Meets Bagel came up, and then a groan about playing out your life history, all your likes and dislikes, your preferences, picking your partner. Then compulsion over your every response, thinking, rethinking…..positioning yourself. Defining a strategy. Sounds like the development of business strategy for an M&A to me.

We then agreed that maybe this approach should be reserved for other parts of life. But, for dating, the richness of spontaneity and seeing where it all goes, sounds a lot more fun.
