The Hidden Psychology Behind Modern Online Dating

“You’ll stay here, of course,” he said, signing his second death certificate.

“I can’t.

We talked about it yesterday.”

“You certainly can.

When will you come home?”

“I’ll be outside soon.

You’re too kind, Joachim.

I am glad to have a friend like you.”

“OK!

See you soon.”

He sat down at the computer and thought.

She was absolutely right that this was unsustainable.

It already was.

He was in love.

They were friends.

Not a couple.

Not his partner.

Not his love.

Pure friendship.

Period.

Head over heels in love and he had been since she showed her little cheeky attitude that quickly melted and showed the happy, curious, lost but kind Nikki who had completely lost her way and perhaps – somewhat belatedly – started to find her way on life’s path.

He had completely forgotten about it and what did it matter now that they didn’t want to go into PlaynDate.

This was what broke his whole awesome business idea.

The guys liked it.

Nikki knew…

YES!

NIKKI KNEW!

He jumped up from his chair.

Nikki knew and Nikki was unemployed.

Nikki both knew, had the time, knew PlaynDate and had a lot of experience with online online dating apps.

Nikki was going to sell PlaynDate.

He heard the key in the door, and he ran out towards the slightly slumped figure in the hall.

“I know what we’re going to do.

We’re going to be millionaires Nikki!”

Some people are not looking for attention. They are looking for something real.
