You’re not responsible for someone else’s swipes—you’re only responsible for your own.

I used to *constantly* live in the future—worrying about what’s next in dating or relationships.

I've totally been this friend

We’ve got to stop worrying so much about dating younger—especially as women.

How often Skyline and I text? It really depends on the day.

Not every first date leads to a second—and yeah, that can be frustrating.

If you’re wanting more affection from your partner...

The term situationship gets thrown around a lot, but here’s how I define it:

Let’s not overcomplicate this: people make effort for the things they want.

When I was feeling burned out from dating apps, I started shifting my focus to IRL opportunities.

If you’re feeling unsure about your relationship

You said it yourself: You’re feeling good. And honestly? That’s what matters most.

Many people are still chasing that instant “fireworks” feeling.

I’m so sorry this happened—it sounds like you dealt with someone incredibly immature.

If you're wondering whether to have a conversation over text, ask yourself this

In early dating—*before* you’re exclusive—you don’t owe anyone a play-by-play

You already know this is a bad idea.

If your ex emailed you months ago and you didn’t respond

Anxiety has tricked me like this before too

I love that you're adopting surprise date night as a tradition!

A coffee shop date can sometimes feel more like a job interview than a romantic connection

stop calling them that—because “the one”

Being ghosted is always awful, but after six months? That’s next-level unhinged.

One of the most helpful things for getting over a breakup...

their profile says they’re looking for casual dating

If you’re feeling anxious because you slept with someone “too soon” & now fear it ruined your chance

I’ve totally been there—sensing a shift in energy and worrying it means they’re losing interest

If it’s been a month, you’ve had two dates, and you’re texting regularly

I totally get how your boyfriend’s ex texting him might bring up past fears

If you want more affirmations from your boyfriend when you send him pics, the key is to be specific

The best social events for meeting people while dating are the ones with a consistent group.

If someone asks if you're dating other people on a second date...

If you find yourself going on date after date without that immediate spark...

Don't label someone as a "bad texter" if they simply communicate differently from you

I don’t think the app itself is the barrier to finding a serious relationship.

I am so excited for you that you are feeling open to dating!

If you're dating just for fun and know that this isn’t building toward a long-term relationship

Ask this person on a date if you want to go on a date with somebody.

Why would a guy chat for days without setting a date?

Not every little quirk or annoyance is a deal-breaker.

I absolutely believe opposites can attract.

Even if you've chatted a lot before meeting it’s still your first date in person

I never believed in the whole "when you know, you know" idea.

I'm so excited you're giving speed dating a try!

If I were starting a long-distance relationship, I’d be looking for reciprocated effort

If you want to spend Valentine's Day with someone, don’t wait—communicate!

It’s so important to give yourself the grace to take breaks from dating if that’s what feels best

While I wish everyone were direct about their intentions and didn’t lead people on,
