Dating in the 2020’s What it looks like:
You add her on Snapchat or maybe she slides into your DMs.
You message each other back and forth. Eventually, you either tell each other the other person’s hot or cute (over text not face to face). You start hooking up with each other.
If you like a girl, ask her out in REAL LIFE. Not online.
