Reading Their Eyes vs. Overthinking Their Voice Memos

July 14, 2025

We’re living in the age of hypercommunication. You don’t just get a “hi” anymore—you get a carefully crafted voice memo, a flurry of emojis, a meme that’s supposed to be funny but somehow feels like a test, and maybe a blurry selfie of someone’s lunch thrown in for good measure. [...]

There’s a new trend doing the rounds on social media, and I have to say, it’s got a lot of people second-guessing their dating flow. The trend? The “No Texting Until We Meet” rule. The idea is simple: once you match on a dating app, you agree not to get into any texting or messaging [...]

July 14, 2025

We’ve all seen the glossy dating profiles, the quick swipes, and the instant attraction. One glance, and bam—there it is. The tingling feeling, the racing heart, the thought: “Could this be the one?” Some even call it love at first swipe. But if you’ve been in the dating game for longer [...]

July 12, 2025

We’ve all seen them—screenshots of outrageous, cringe-worthy, or downright confusing dating app messages making the rounds online. “Are you my future ex-wife?” “I’ll bring the whipped cream if you bring the drama.” Or my personal favourite: “You look like you’d ruin my life in a [...]

July 12, 2025

There’s a new breed of dating coach blowing up online. You’ve probably seen them—usually in podcasts or livestreams, sitting confidently across from a room full of people, delivering advice that’s blunt, even brutal. “You’re not as high-value as you think.” “No one owes you [...]

July 12, 2025

If you type “first date tips” into any search engine or scroll through your socials, you’ll get bombarded with advice. Some of it’s solid. Some of it’s laughably outdated. And some of it is just downright confusing. I recently fell down the rabbit hole watching old-school dating advice [...]
