Let’s call it like it is: we are navigating a fucked-up dating scene, and it’s not just because of dating apps. It’s because the men we want to date are both terrified of commitment but still want to enjoy the benefits of a relationship without ever labeling it as one. He wants the attention, the…

When you have feelings for someone, it’s incredibly easy to get swept away trying to decode “the signs” that he’s just as into you.
