Ever found yourself looking for love in all the wrong places? Like down the back of the sofa or behind the washing machine? Plenty of spare change, but no other half… Or at 4 o’clock in the morning on a sticky dancefloor? It’ll be hard enough to find your way home, let alone a significant …

As a 40-something single person, you might feel a little lonely. Friends have gotten married… maybe more than once. And you’re alone. But the reality? You’re in the absolute prime of your life! No doubt you’ve been through enough highs and lows to have learned a fair few life lessons. You know how to enjoy …

Bumble Bizz was launched in 2017, a couple of years after the equally innovative Bumble BFFs. It allows users to look for either the perfect employee to fill a role at their business, a business to work with, or collaboration options. Essentially, Bumble Bizz is the networking app you didn’t even know you needed.  Just …

Long-distance relationships are difficult at the best of times. Even a humdrum nothing-special day can be tough. Feeling too far away from each other, feeling lonely and disconnected from the person you love, it’s hard. Throw in an anniversary, a day that should be extra special and exciting and definitely spent together, and you’ve got …

In 2013, this became Hinge Dating, the app we all now know and (mostly) love. Hinge was DC-focused early, with a launch party there in 2013. Maybe that’s why Pete Buttigieg met his husband …

First dates are pretty nerve-wracking no matter what you’re normally like. You’re putting yourself out there to be judged by someone you probably don’t know very well, and odds are you already think they’re nice. Ruining things with flat chat is crushing.  For me this has gotten better over the years for sure. With a …

While some people take solace in the expression “there’s plenty more fish in the sea,” it leaves me thinking one thing. There is a lot of fish in the sea. And with so many of them swimming about you’re pretty much guaranteed to reel in some duds. Throw ‘em back, this is catch-and-release here. And …
