How do I know if they like me?!?

I’ve finally gotten back out there after the rebound incident, and I’ve started to notice a trend to my dating. Most of the dates that I’ve been on have originated from apps (if anyone out there has figured out a less tech heavy way of dating, please tell me!) and I’ve found it impossible to …

Online Dating – Zero degrees of separation

So I’ve finally branched out on my internet dating, and I’ve gone and joined Plenty of Fish alongside Tinder.
