How We Traded Romance for Digital Surveillance
Dating apps have ruined dating. Or at least, they’ve rewritten it so thoroughly that the old version feels medieval – like something our parents swore once existed, explaining how things used to work.
They’ve made us socially strange. Not incapable of connection, but closed off, weird and over-calibrated. Always aware that there might be something, or someone, one swipe away.
We carry an entire catalogue of potential partners in our pockets…. Seeing this spelled out is kind of creepy, strange, but also hopeful, and helpful?
The Revolving Door Romance
There was a time, not long ago, when walking away from someone meant actual distance. If you broke up, you broke up. You didn’t see their new haircut, their new inside jokes, or the person who replaced you. You didn’t know who liked their latest photo because there was no latest photo to inspect.
Breaking up used to be clean. Brutal, yes. But clean.
Now? Now it’s forensic.
We don’t just lose someone. We audit the loss. We scroll through their following list like detectives. We track the new girl, the new guy, the suspiciously frequent liker. We watch their stories. We analyze the timestamps. We cross-reference emojis.
Closure has been replaced by surveillance.
And dating apps intensify this feeling. Because even when we’re nursing a bruise, we know we could download a new beginning before dinner.
And no - just because someone liked your story doesn’t mean they want to get back together.

🌐 Collingwood: Après The Right Way
If you are up to ski Blue Mountain, or frequent one of the private ski clubs, and you have even the slightest modicum of taste, there is no reason to après in Blue Mountain Village or the tired old Alphorn. Collingwood has emerged as a bit of a culinary destination. If you want to après right, there is amazing food and drink to be found in inspiring, lively rooms, all clustered within several blocks. The places on this list are excellent to visit anytime, but they just hit different after a day out playing in the snow.
