Vetting Fatigue

[1]

I have a close friend who breezed through online dating until he met his life partner that way. The ungainly process never seemed to bother him. I, on the other hand find it excruciating. And the impact was cumulative. That’s why I now prefer hanging out with people (and my dog) who already love me.
