After FaceTiming for a week, Ramasami suggested they meet in person. He reserved a table at Ruth\u2019s Chris Steak House, drove two hours from the Bay Area to Sacramento, and even bought her a rose. They hit it off and scheduled a second date of hiking and dinner by a lake. It was then that Ramasami disclosed his living situation: \u201cI don\u2019t stay in an apartment or anything. I\u2019m nomadic, and I actually love it.\u201d<\/p><p>At first, the Sacramento professor was curious. But, soon after, she gave him the bad news: she wanted to just be friends. This wasn\u2019t Ramasami\u2019s first time in the \u201cfriend zone.\u201d In fact, most of his experiences with online dating apps like Bumble, Hinge, and PlentyofFish played out similarly.<\/p><p>Like Ramasami, many who consider themselves nomadic have tried to find love on the usual dating apps, like Tinder and Bumble, without much luck.
