Tips for dating online safely and successfully.
I was up the other night until ungodly hours of the morning obsessively binging on a Netflix series called "Dirty John".

Intuition or paranoia?

After a failed relationship, I purge anything and everything attached to an ex — especially if it was a bad relationship. [...]
“It’s nothing personal.”
Maybe it was a first date and they never followed up, maybe you've been seeing each other for a few months and they decided it's not going to work, maybe you finally plucked up the courage to ask them out and they weren't interested... While rejection is pretty much inevitable in some capacity, it still [...]
