Yesssss! Love this so very much. I've been out of the dating game for a bit and ready to mingle again and find these all SO true and helpful. 🙏❤️ (((And, the t-shirt scent test is SO fascinating. And, so interesting that women on birth control cannot smell that. Another reason why I think it's so sad to me that it's so normal for women to take a pill that massively fucks with their body. 😢)))
Such a great list, thank you Sarah. In my early post-divorce dating days eight years ago, I was ignorant at the time of some of these signs. Scent, for example. But in retrospect I spent more time with people who I must’ve matched up with in terms of pheromones. And my long term partner now, I just love smelling every delicious part of him!
Rebecca, thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad it resonated with you. It sounds like your body intuitively led you to a wonderful match for you! The things our bodies know and then our consciousness catches up to later. 😅
Have you had good feedback from that? (I really want to know) The reason I ask is that when I was on the datings apps, if there was a “hey” or “what’s up” message without any context or personality visible, I had a difficult time knowing how to respond.
Ummmmmm, you do understand that I was being facetious, right?
If I'm on a dating app, I read whatever information is offered on a woman's profile and, if I choose to write, I do so thoughtfully.
If all you're getting from someone's greeting is "hey" or "what's up" You should probably just hit delete, they don't care enough to find a reason that they actually WANT to communicate with you. The guys that do one word openers are just playing a numbers game and they're not worth your time.
Hey Mark, since it can be challenging to read sarcasm, I wanted to clarify! Phew!
I couldn’t agree more with your approach and suggestion to delete and move on when the first message is a blasé “hey”.
Fun fact: I met my current partner on an app and he followed the same playbook you suggested. It was a thoughtful message that took me as a person into consideration. Many years later, we have that initial thoughtful message to thank for it.

This was lovely. Thank you!
Danusia, thank you for saying so. The pleasure is mine!

Such a great way to put it - the things our bodies know and our consciousness catches up with!
The first one being, “Sup?”
