"There is," as the saying goes, "an app for that."
For Jamie, that was his social life. It wasn't as easy to meet people in college as he thought it'd be. Friends, boyfriends, friends who were boys: Whatever they were, he didn't have them.
There wasn't anything wrong with him. (At least Jamie didn't think so, anyway.) He was nice, if a little quiet. He didn't have the best physique, but he was certainly careful about what he ate. And he was more than happy to talk about last night's game, or the new season that just dropped, but he wouldn't want to bore you, you know?
He could spend weeks chatting with someone, maybe even meet up to grab dinner and drinks after class or hang out on the weekend. But the sparks fizzled, never flew. And after another weekend alone, he was beginning to get a little…desperate.
The app was called mtchmkr. He wasn't sure what app developers had against capitalization and vowels. Still, it sounded…interesting?
Using proprietary AI-driven algorithms synced to mtchmkr's synergetic data analysis system, mtchmkr can determine your compatibility with a potential match and provide options to improve it.
Huh, he thought. Just what I need!
Jamie set up a profile, and he didn't have to wait long.
YOU MATCHED WITH: CHASE (COMPATIBILITY: 9%)
22 - 6'5" - Sagittarius Job: on dat grind/get huggggeeeee Education: may b gonna graduate? i dunno lmao Interested in: u wanna be bros???
I go crazy for: chest day!!! One thing you should know about me: im loud as fukk lol The worst decision I've ever made: dry scoopin pre-workout :( Agree or disagree: deo is optional??? ;)
Uh, okay. Jamie scrolled through Chase's profile. I don't think he's my type, but maybe the app is just trying to establish a baseline?
A pop-up on the screen gave Jamie three options. His next match would be ready in 24 hours, so he'd better act fast if he liked Chase!
