Meet cute: a scene in film, television, etc. in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, entertaining, or amusing. Because I base so many of my falling-in-love fantasies off of love novels and star crossed movies, I've always pictured my moment with "the one" as a…
Republished from 6/13/15 We are sometimes called the "hookup culture" because of our lack of commitment. We kiss first, ask questions wayyyyyy later. Relationships aren't exactly what we're looking for right now and one reason behind this is because we are always speed dating. Not literally, we don't move from chair to chair at a…

Republished from 4/5/15 Everywhere we turn, there are interesting people. Walk into class, stumble into the bar, open up twitter, and scroll through Instagram. You can find someone you have something in common with in every nook of your life. So how do you choose and how do you settle? I don't think our generation…

Republished from 4/3/15 I came into college almost two years deep into a relationship that I thought was going to be the rest of my life. I came to find, as most young people do, that forever just isn’t as long as I thought it was going to be. I readjusted and came to realize…
I'll start this off by saying I haven't met up with anyone in real life from Bumble BFF. And I'll follow it up with saying that I hated dating and making friends is just like dating...so I hate this also. If you've been following me for a few months now, you'll know I've had little…

A response to my very old series of endings called I’m Glad It Didn’t Work Out, view part 1 and 2 here. This will be a series focused on the beginnings of various relationships, view part 1 here. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away - I used to be on Tinder. Yikes. I…
All I ever see these days is how people hate the "talking" phase of a relationship. I hear baby boomers diss us for not knowing how to date and millennials despising their almost-relationships. Meanwhile, I've skipped the "talking" phase all together and have gone straight to dating. Because going on dates isn't a commitment. There…
Online dating...I don't recommend it. I hate Tinder, Match was awful, Coffee Meets Bagel was annoying, Bumble is just frustrating. All of these things aren't bad because I'm against online dating, they're bad because online dating is not for most people. If you are young, single, career driven, and happy - you really don't need those…
Online dating is a tricky thing. People use it because they're bored, because they're too busy to meet someone in person, because they've run out of options, and etc. etc. I chose to download multiple online dating apps. I'm not always on my computer, but I am always on my phone. I downloaded them because…
