Even in 2022, Tinder is still burning brightly on the dating app scene. Whether you’re new to the world of online dating or you’ve been around the block, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of Tinder. It’s your one-stop swiping shop – the dating app that makes you make a decision with the swish of a …

From blue ticks to getting left on read, it often feels like online privacy is a thing of the past. But we’re not always looking for a conversation. Sometimes I just want to scroll in peace! And if Instagram announces to everyone that I’m “currently active” at all times, how am I going to keep …

We’ve all been there with a Tinder match. Your perfect opening line has gone down a treat and now you two are really getting to know one another.  They have a dog named Scoop, they love Chinese food, and they didn’t think much of the final season of Game of Thrones. They’re perfect! And then, …
