i understand, friendship can potentially lead to a romantic level, but everything needs stages, steps, with a gentle & consent-filled approach. even though I am still part of generation Z, but I realize that more and more people are lacking patience in every process of life and so expect everything to be practical. and the result is like the individuals who use Penpals as their covert dating app.
