I love how this reads… like a walk and a hang with friends while doing nothing… but everything. How do people live with linear brains? Mine pings and bops all over the place all the time, exhausting everyone around me and I love how this reads…

Also, why are we happier to fins a good beauty product than a man?

First date(s) shouldn't be called a date. It's tasting the water. It's confirming whether they look like the pictures. It's making sure the chances of them being a kitten kill*r to be at 0. It's a gut feeling moment.

Agree it's just a chemistry check!

Right? I've heard that with the initial chat you should only decide if it's worth taking it offline, the first meeting is to see if there will be a second, etc. I've also heard that walking rather than sitting opposite at a table would facilitate conversation. Waiting to hear if it's true.

Have just ordered a Lisa Eldridge lip gloss (I need to work through a drawer of foundation before I can look 24 apparently...) I loved this piece, Tiff, strong Sheila Heti vibes my friend. With you through every turn xo

I would just like to let you know that I would absolutely love to pay for your writing, but I'm currently at my limit. You're next on the list if my expenses go down/income goes up... I'm currently gazing admiringly at lip gloss I can't afford!

Frustrating how clueless guys are about safety. "I'll just bring my extra sharp knives over." WTF!!! Here's an idea that people might pay for: write a list of dos and don'ts for first dates: Do not offer to bring your axe collection over, do not ask, "What do you weigh?" Do not post photos of yourself with your ex. on your dating profile. Do offer ideas of public places to meet, do post a photo that looks like you.
