I would always take things to the next level. It's not two internet dates in a week, it's five. It's not getting drunk at a party, it's getting drunk and naked at a party, staying up all night and then begging everyone to "play" again when the finally get up. The things that separate it can be justified by just being "the really fun one" or "the passionate one" until you are snorting coke off of a strangers ***** in a threesome at three in the morning...and end up beaten and strangled before you limp to safety[emoji15]
The other thing I noticed about internet dating is that other people were way more careful about it. They would talk to guys and interview them before dating them. I would get so excited by the prospect of fun that I would barely talk to them. We just went out and I went nuts. Then regardless of the experience I had the night before, I would pick another date and start over. The pain doesn't exist. Only excitement and the chase. You are invincible until you crash and then you are worthless until you cycle again.
If any of this rings true, or you have that whisper in your head that says you might in fact be manic, I would lay off the internet dating. (And maybe check in with your doc)

Oh yes, I can relate. I'm the fun one, the intense one, the one who does it all over again, no matter how I crashed, let's not even talk about snorting off cocaine from some strangers desk or not feeling any pain. Quit my dating application about two weeks ago, now I am trying to get rid of the contacts I made.
