I'm saving for a house, so expensive nights out were off the table. My group chat had a dedicated channel for dating complaints, mostly mine. I don't miss the bad dates as much as I miss actually wanting to go on one. My cousin's wedding toast inspired me to give sugar dating my full attention for a few weekends. Two months in and I still open the app on purpose, which says a lot. For the first time in ages, the month ahead actually excites me.
