So, my friend and I ? Yeah, we're usually drowning in our own chaos, having no clue about the outside world...but then there are these random moments where we somehow end up talking about the most random crap-like dating, love, crushes, all that stupid stuffs. And honestly, I am miles away from even caring, totally at peace with my single life. But my friend? Oh, she's having this mini existential crisis about dying single. And the funny thing is i'm more worried about her love life than mine, like 🤷🏻‍♀️ ...
Then we start having these deep (well, "deep") conversations that always end in the most ridiculous way possible. It goes like this:

Friend: "Okay, so... what if I like someone?"

Me: "Alright, hypothetical, go on..."

Friend: "And... they actually like me back?"

Me: "Ooh, plot twist. Go on."

Friend: "Then... we start dating... and..."

Both of us, dramatically, hands in the air: "THEN WHAT?!"

Friend: blinks "Like, what do we even do? Hold hands? Go for walks? Take selfies?"

Me: completely lost "I don't know, do people still do that?"

Friend: "What if we start texting each other, and it's all 'good morning' and 'how's your day?' and then what? What do you even say after 'how's your day'? Where does it end?!"

Me: "Yeah, what if you run out of things to talk about? Do you just... break up?"

Friend: "Like, do we just sit there, staring at each other in silence? Is that what dating is?"

Me: "Or do you talk about...i don't know...feelings, I guess ?"

Both of us, visibly shuddering at the thought of emotional conversations.

Friend: panicked "What if they want to go on dates?! Like, actual dates where you dress up, go out and eat overpriced food?"

Me: "Do you have to eat cute on dates? What if you want to scarf down a burger?"

Both of us, just staring at each other like we've uncovered a conspiracy.

Friend: "AND THEN WHAT?!" 🤯

And it always ends with us shrugging at each other like, "Well, guess we'll die alone." Cue the dramatic eye-rolls and exaggerated sighs.
We just stand there, completely clueless. We have absolutely zero idea what dating is supposed to mean. Like, what's next? Do we start a farm? Open a bakery? Adopt a cat? WE. HAVE. NO. IDEA. It's like dating is some kind of confusing board game we've never read the rules for or Were there any crash courses we missed in high school? 🤷🏻‍♀️

P. S: I really don't think we need to worry about these things because if it's meant to be, it will be, and if not, I don't really see a problem either.
