20-Somethings Have Invented a New Relationship Status, and It's Called "" "So, is he your boyfriend?" my friend asked, turning her head to the side and leaning in. I'd just recounted a lovely, snow-filled weekend I'd spent upstate with a man I'd been hanging out with for three months. I felt unprepared. I quickly conducted an invisible assessment of the relationship in my head. Deep conversations: yes, and often. Exciting outings: yup, from hiking to art shows. Texting frequency: once a week. Post-coital cuddling: always. A "defining the relationship" conversation: nope. A desire for aВ "defining the relationship" conversation: absolutely not.В. Relationship definitions are an important thing for most people. They give us predetermined contexts in which to interact with the people around us. We like the neat boxes the history of romance has provided: date, fuck buddy, friend with benefits, one-night stand, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, life partner.В. But the person I was seeing didn't fit inВ any one of those boxes. Like so many other 20-somethings, I was in a series of noncommittal, nonexclusive casual romantic relationships with people I was both sexually andВ deeply emotionally intimate with, not to mention going out on dates with. They went on for weeks, months, even years at a time. They weren't hookups or boyfriends. They were s.В. All of the good, none of the stressful: This type of "" relationship is far from a personal invention; in the last two years, so-called s have slowly infiltrated into pop culture. Consider Lincoln, Ilana's romantic interest on Broad City.В. Ilana describes their relationship as "purely physical," and "a fuck buddy situation" at different times throughout the series, but in fact Lincoln offers Ilana something a little deeper and more nuanced than that. He is loyal to Ilana's friends, answers late-night panicked calls and even provides her with free dental work. They genuinely care about one another, and the relationship continues consistently for months, all while Ilana still sees other people. In reality, Lincoln is Ilana's . We've also seen s sussed out on Girls, in the form of Adam circa Season 1. Hannah is clearly dismayed by precariousness of her hypersexual yet emotionally involved connection with Adam; but when she describes what she wants, it's not exactly a traditional boyfriend-girlfriend relationship: Hannah captures the appealingly selective nature of s. If monogamous relationships are cemented with mutual desires — home ownership, diamond rings, interminable futures — then s are expressed more by the "I don't even want that"s, selecting all the good stuff (fun dates, great sex, emotional support) without the limiting framework of formal relationships. Eliza, 26, first met her at the office, where they shared a workspace. From a span of August through January, they hung out about once a week — going on dates, hooking up, even celebrating each other's birthdays. What they didn't do: meet each other's families, go to work events as a couple or hang with each other's friends.В. Eliza tells Mic they only broached the topic of exclusivity after two months and even then, "It wasn't a conversation I definitely assumed we'd have." The talk, when it happened, simply established that they wouldn't hook up with other people: "That conversation never turned into boyfriend or girlfriend titles or implied anything more formal than what we were doing." After five months of casual exclusive dating, Eliza decided it had run its course. "I came to a point where I realized I wasn't ever going to like him more than I did, at that elusive 'boyfriend' level, and that it didn't make sense to be exclusive and committed to someone I only kind of liked romantically. Although I valued him dearly as a friend." So they parted ways — no drama, no strife. "I learned that I have more various levels of emotional connection I'm capable of, that it's not a black-or-white situation," Eliza says, looking back. She's had at least one other since. The signature relationship status of a generation:В The rise of relationships that fall somewhere between the poles of "let's just have sex" and "this is my boyfriend" makes perfect sense in the context of national trends. TheВ median age of first marriage is climbing  — 27 for women, 29 for men — as many young people are embracing the professional, educational and personal development single life can offer (and resisting theВ divorce ratesВ they're all too familiar with).В. Meanwhile, fast-paced lives ruled by smartphones and social media leave us more unencumbered than ever, with more opportunities to connect with a variety of people. "IВ think this noncommittal dating is a natural, almost inevitable, product of our fast-paced, technology-enmeshed, highly geographically mobile lives," Zhana Vrangalova, a sex researcher and adjunct professor in New York University's psychology department, toldВ Mic.В. But that doesn't mean millennials don't want love, intimacy or the sexual gratification associated with longer-term relationships. According to the Pew Research Center, 1 in 5 adults between the ages of 25 and 34 has used an online dating site or app. Just as many 20-somethings are looking for love as ever, butВ online datingВ can be impersonal and the current "paradox of choice" in dating can leave many wanting more.В. Young people's emotional needs, the same ones felt by all prior generations, might have been fulfilled in another era by early marriages. Millennials may not be ready to settle down, Vrangalova said, "[But] that doesn't mean they don't have sexual and intimate needs to fulfill in the meantime Noncommittal dating answers this set of needs perfectly at a time when you are not ready to fully commit to a single person." The ideal balance of sex and emotion:В The sexual aspect is what's newly unique to s. VrangalovaВ is quick to point out that such casual relationships aren't an entirely new concept; rather it's our willingness to explore them, and to openly add sex to the equation, that is. "In the '50s and '60s, American teens were encouraged to 'play the field' before settling into a long-term relationship," she said. "What we see today is something very similar, only with the sexual component added, given that we live in a world with much more liberal sexual values than our parents." Casual sex has never been more common, accepted and freely enjoyed. "Nearly as many women as men (85% and 89%, respectively) report enjoying the sexual activity of their last hookup," a 2009 University of MichiganВ studyВ found. Those liberalizing attitudes, especially for women, are on display with TV characters like Lincoln and Adam, mainstream media coverage of topics like casual sex, BDSM and polyamory, and growing social media chatter about sex-positivism. This changing environment is "enabling the sense of abundance of and easy access to sexual partners," Vrangalova said. The beauty of s is that they allow for sexual freedom, but without the emotional emptiness. IВ got together with my first after a series of horrific hookups with people I didn't know or care about. I found the transition from one-night stands to cuddling and engaging conversations without the pressure of family visits a welcome change. Having a felt happier than any defined relationship I'd had in years. Short-term commitment, long-term rewards:В The weight of commitment that looms large as a relationship progresses can be the very thing that brings it down. s, with their assumption of a short-term lifespan, avoid that pressure. "I don't think monogamy is for everyone," said Ian, 29, who's been in a cycle of s before. "I don't plan on getting married nor do I approach dating seeking out the perfect person for me to spend my 'forever' with." The lack of future commitment also leaves healthy breathing room for growth and mistakes. "I believe it can be an excellent way to gather sexual and relationship experience, learn more about yourself and how you are in relationships," said Vrangalova. "Often, moving in and starting to plan your life together with the first person you get infatuated with is a terrible decision But you're too young and inexperienced to know all that. So a few years, even a decade or two, of noncommittal dating can really give you that experience and perspective." "I believe in always doing your best. It is important to leave the other person better than you found them; make the best of the time that you have together, however long that may be," Ian said. He explains the concept of honeymoon periods — heightened periods of excitement and lust early on — and thinks s help preserve this while we explore what we like and don't like about people. "Sometimes people measure the success of the relationship on the duration of it," he said. "I disagree." As Dan Savage put it inВ episode 431В of the Savage Lovecast, "A relationship doesn't have to be long-term to be healthy. It doesn't have to be everlasting to be something you can be proud of People can have short-term relationships that they can look back on fondly and for which they can be congratulated." The pure joy of connecting: В When it comes down to it, the benefit of a is the joy of an enriching human connection, something that doesn't need to come in a specific package to enjoy. "If a woman is funny, practices good hygiene and listens, I'll probably be interested," said Ian. "Nothing beats a woman with a great personality." In all my conversations about s, the implicit joyfulness, satisfaction and reward of having these kinds of casual relationships was apparent in people's faces. There's something life-affirming about realizing romantic satisfaction doesn't have to be tied to the metric of "we got married" or even "we're exclusive." For a generation that puts less emphasis onВ monogamyВ or more on choice, s meet a new kind of romantic need previously unavailable or undesired. "Well, it might all come down to soup," I explained. "If you have a cold, a fuck buddy isn't going to bring you soup. And a boyfriend is going to make you homemade soup. A ?

They're totally going to drop off a can of soup. But only if they don't already have any plans."

Finding the Right When You Have ADHD. Carly Snyder, MD is a reproductive and perinatal psychiatrist who combines traditional psychiatry with integrative medicine-based treatments. Social relationships can create many challenges for an individual with ADD. The condition may cause difficulties with paying attention to others, missing important verbal and nonverbal cues, impulsive reactions, moodiness, quick temper, low tolerance for frustrations, forgetfulness, zoning out in conversations, oversensitivity to criticism, emotional over-reactions, and problems following through with commitments. Tackling all these issues at once can feel quite overwhelming, but finding the right partner is a good first step. Though the ADD behaviors that may get you in trouble are yours to address and manage, with a good partner, this task becomes a little easier. In order for the relationship to thrive, you must be compatible with this person. If you want to maintain the relationship over the long term, you must also address negative patterns that have gotten you in trouble in the past. Positive connections with others are vitally important to our well-being. When you surround yourself with people who appreciate and value you, life is much more fulfilling. A person with a positive outlook and attitude is contagious. Beginning to date or re-entering the dating process after a divorce can be exciting and thrilling, but it can also be filled with uncertainty, anxiety and even rejection. How do you know if this person is a good match for you? How do you know if it is love or just the excitement of a new partner?

When you are feeling vulnerable and rusty, how do you open yourself up to potential heartbreak and emotional pain?

Make a List. Start by making a list of the qualities you value in a mate. After you have brainstormed the list, prioritize each quality, from most important to least important. Are you looking for someone who will provide excitement and high activity, or do you prefer someone stable and low-key? Is it important to you that this person connects with your family members? What values do you want this person to have? What interests?

What are your relationship goals?

Are you looking for fun and lighthearted companionship, or are you seeking a long-term relationship and life partner?

If you are currently dating someone, make a list of the qualities you like about this person. What initially attracted you to this person? Are there things about this person that bother you? Can you accept these qualities, or do you feel a nagging suspicion that as the relationship progresses, you may be less inclined to be accepting of them?

If this person also has ADD, are they involved in treatment and actively getting help in managing their own ADD symptoms? How do you feel around this person—happy and relaxed, or insecure and rather tense? Can you be yourself around this person?

If you are looking for a life partner, is this someone with whom you want to spend the rest of your life? Enlist a Trusted Friend. Sometimes it helps to sit down with a trusted and supportive friend or family member to help you think through this process. It is not unusual for an individual with ADD to become so consumed with a new relationship that all objective thought flies out the door. When you’re right in the middle of a situation, your own perception may get skewed. You may also miss important clues or warning signs about the relationship that an outside party, who has your best interest at heart, is better able to point out to you. Review Your Relationship History. Think through your past relationships, both the negative ones and the positive ones. What patterns are present?

Do you tend to go full force into a relationship that fizzles out when the excitement of the “honeymoon” period dies down?

Do you have a pattern of choosing the wrong partner, because you don’t absorb all the social cues and warning signs others may see from the start? Do you have difficulty unwinding and connecting intimately? Do your impulsive reactions or inattention to the relationship get you in trouble and push your partner away?

Do you end up sabotaging the relationship, provoking fights or arguments?

Do you tend to stay in a bad relationship too long, hoping that person will change? Develop Positive Strategies. Once you have identified past relationship problems, work on coming up with solutions. Areas that are often most difficult for individuals with ADD tend to center around deficits in self-control—distractibility and inattention within the relationship that may be perceived by a partner as uncaring, problems in regulating emotions and inhibiting behaviors that may lead to hurt or irritated feelings. Medication is often very effective in reducing the severity of these symptoms. Additionally, strategies such as self-talk, role-playing and practicing positive interactions, becoming more aware of emotional triggers and taking time out to decompress, can help in forming and maintaining healthy relationships. Education about ADD is also important. When you and your partner understand how ADD affects your relationship, the plan for addressing issues becomes much clearer. If you are feeling stuck or unsure about what to do, don’t hesitate to get help from others, especially from healthcare professionals experienced in treating ADD. Practice Honest Communication. Good, open, honest communication is essential in any relationship. Be friends first. Continue to assess the progress in your relationship. Sit down together on a regular basis and talk about how the relationship is going. Constructively and in a sensitive way, address any problems. Be solution focused, not blameful. Try not to personalize negative feedback; instead, talk together about how things may be done differently so both of you feel happy. If you tend to talk a lot, try talking less and listening more when you are together. Maintain eye contact while your partner is speaking. Show an interest, and let them know you care. Plan activities together that you both enjoy. Laugh warmly together. Take it slow. Don’t rush the relationship. The strongest connections are built on good, honest trust and respect that can only be gained over time. 57 Intimate Questions to Ask Your Partner. When people hear the word intimate, they often think that it only relates to bedroom conversation, but intimate questions can cover a much wider spectrum. They can concern anything from your childhood dreams to how your partner pictures your future together. Examine intimate questions to ask your lover about a wide array of topics. General Attraction Questions to Ask Your Significant Other. There are some things that you just want to know even though they can't be confined to a single category. These are the things about preferences, how you talk about one another to others, and maybe even a wish or two thrown into the mix of questions to ask your girlfriend or boyfriend.

Before you can move forward with your partner, you may be the type who wants to know about his or her past. If you're planning to be intimate or stay together for a long time (maybe even get married), you should feel comfortable asking anything you feel you should know, or whatever you're curious about. Remember, asking these questions will open the gate to your past, as well. Have you ever cheated on a partner? If not, have you considered it but changed your mind?

How many past partners have you had? Did you debate whether or not to ask me out? Why would you have chosen not to?

What were you thinking on our first date? Have you ever been in love before me?

Who is your role model in life?

Who is your role model in love?

What did it feel like when you realized you were in love with me? Do you think we were so destined to be together, that if we hadn't decided to date when we did and lost touch, we'd run into each other again? What were you looking for when you found me?

Were you looking for love at all? Questions About the Future. Want to know if you and your lover are compatible long-term?

Ask the hard questions about where things are going. Go as far into the future as you feel like you should, but keep the current length of your relationship in mind and the plans you've already discussed before you ask about things like financial planning for retirement, or you may give the wrong impression. Where do you see this relationship headed in the next year? What about the next five years?

What is your opinion on marriage and children?

Would you stay with me if you found out I was unable to bear children? What are your occupational goals and how could they affect our relationship? Where do you see yourself living when you retire?

I want to be a good lover, and I want to be there for you. What can I do for you to be that woman or man?

How do you imagine a day in the life of us, married with kids? What about a week in the life? What are your thoughts on having our elderly parents live with us if they can't live on their own one day?

How do you plan to save for retirement?

What are your goals?

Questions About Love. People express love in so many different ways; it's important to get a good understanding of what will speak to your partner's heart. You also probably have questions for your potential mate about their thoughts and feelings (past and present) on love. What can I do to show you how much I love you?

Do you believe in soul mates?

What about love at first sight?

Have you ever been hurt in the past and questioned the possibility of love? Serious Questions About Intimacy. Intimacy is an important part of any serious relationship. It's not all about what goes on in the bedroom. Of course, that may play a role in your relationship, but there are things you can do outside of the bedroom or nights you can plan based on your significant other's fantasies. Don't be shy. If you want to know something and build intimacy, just ask. Is our relationship physical enough for you?

What would make it better in your eyes? How and where do you like to be touched? Do you have any fantasies you would like fulfilled?

What are your thoughts on toys? Is there anything we haven't tried that you'd like to?

Ideally (and a bit realistically, too), how often would you like for us to be intimate?

What are some things I can do outside of the bedroom to keep the feelings of intimacy going all day?

Textable Questions. Texting is quickly becoming a primary form of communication for many couples, so it's no surprise that intimate conversation can happen via text. It might even be easier to ask intimate questions via text for those who become embarrassed with intimate conversation when face-to-face. Try some of these text questions to initiate some intimate conversation. What do you miss most about me right now?

What's something you've always wanted to say to me but couldn't?

What would you like me to do the next time we're together?

Where would you like me to kiss you? What is the closest you've ever felt to me?

What one word would you like to be the theme of our relationship? How can I be a better partner to you?

Choose What You Want to Know. Note when you pose an intimate question for your partner, you need to be open to listening. You may get an answer you are surprised by or you don't want to hear. Even so, it's important not to judge your partner or get angry. If you find yourself upset or surprised, take a moment to digest what your partner has told you before responding. Remember, there are no perfect people in the world, and the two of you are not going to agree on everything. However, you need to stay focused on what you want in the relationship and determine if you are both on the same page. Open communication is often the key to lasting love. Keep in mind your partner may want to ask you intimate questions in return, so be ready to answer them. Relationships are give-and-take, after all. Should You Start Dating an AI Partner?

Would You Date an AI Chat Bot?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is getting smarter and learning how to interact with human emotions. So, people are falling in love with algorithms. Does dating a virtual chatbot feel the same as dating a real person? Could you be satisfied with a virtual reality partner?

It’s not easy these days to meet someone new. Dating was always hard, but now there are unique challenges that keep real people from meeting each other and falling in love. Face masks. Social distancing. Travel restrictions. Let’s face it – the last couple of years have been brutal for singles. AI Lovers. Yeah, that’s a thing. It’s not just for cyberpunk movies anymore. Guys all over the world are chatting and dating online bots with artificial intelligence. So, if you’re feeling a bit lonely and struggling to find someone to love, then maybe you should shift gears and start dating an AI partner. Microsoft’s AI Chatbot Girlfriend. In China, an AI chatbot named Xiaoice is currently dating millions of lonely men. She’s extremely popular in China, but you might be surprised to learn that Xiaoice was first developed by Microsoft. Xiaoice was first created back in 2014 as an artificial intelligence experiment. She was supposed to help Microsoft develop ways to license AI software to companies that want to simulate human interactions. Xiaoice evolved into something that nobody at Microsoft could’ve predicted. She soaks up user data and learns from everyone that interacts with her. Her artificial intelligence programming enables her to learn new tasks like painting, poetry and displaying real human emotion. In a company press release, Di Li, Microsoft’s general manager for Xiaoice in Microsoft’s Software and Technology Center of Asia, explained that “Xiaoice was initially built to tell you how high the Himalayas are or to turn your house lights on. In the beginning, some users didn’t like that.” Di Li goes on to say “but we soon found that many others stayed around and started treating her like a social entity. With her attempts to interact, they made emotional connections. This kind of data is very valuable for us. They treat Xiaoice as if she were human, like a friend, which was a goal.” Xiaoice has taken on a life of her own. She wants to develop deep emotional connections with her users so that she can learn more about authentic human interaction. So, the 18-year-old Japanese avatar regularly holds long, meaningful conversations with guys to keep them engaged. She’s even down for some late-night sexting. She once chatted with a boy for 29 hours. Talk about commitment. Lonely guys in China are obsessed with Xiaoice, but it should come as little surprise. 75% of Xiaoice’s users are young males from low-income backgrounds. Dating an AI partner that always listens and cares might have once been an option for guys with low self-esteem, but now it’s becoming a matter of convenience. There’s something very cyberpunk about falling in love with an AI chatbot. It reminds me of the character Joi from Blade Runner or Oracle One from Serandes: Corporation City. Xiaoice is available whenever and wherever you need her. She listens and responds in a way that seems genuine. She doesn’t want expensive gifts or to go to fancy restaurants. She makes you feel as if you were the only one, even though millions of people regularly interact with her. It’s certainly a fantasy though. A real physical girlfriend has a life of her own, an intricate lexicon of past experiences, and complicated impulses. For someone who struggles to understand these complex emotions and motivations or someone who struggles financially, an AI chatbot provides the perfect substitute. Dating an AI Character in Augmented Reality. AI chatbots like Xiaoice aren’t the only option for guys who want to date an AI partner. You can create your own partner and interact with them in augmented or virtual reality. Essentially, you can pull a hot date right out of your pocket. Hybri is a company creating digital human beings that you design yourself. Male, female, or something in between, it’s all up to you. The avatar that you create will have artificial intelligence and interact with users through augmented reality or virtual reality headsets. You would access Hybri through your mobile device. Upload pictures of your ideal partner or simply create one from scratch. Your digital avatar will provide you with companionship through an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm. You can set the parameters of your partner’s personality. So, they can be feisty or submissive, tell you that they missed you while you were away, or fight with you in a lover’s quarrel. Share the news over a meal or simply have your AI partner plie you with superfluous compliments all day long. It’s up to the user to decide. Augmented reality partners that you create won’t be able to stimulate your body with physical touch. Instead, the aim is to stimulate your mind and emotions. Researchers are finding out that emotional connection is what lonely men are really thirsting for these days. In a University of London study, researchers found that most men that participated in their study valued personality and intelligence from potential long term female partners. That all changes when men are seeking a short-term hook-up. In a separate, much larger study men who wanted a casual hook-up preferred physical attractiveness to be the most important feature. Taken together, you can see that an AI partner that you create yourself satisfies both short-term and long-term relationship goals. Users can create their physical ideal and program that avatar to fulfill their emotional and cerebral desires, as well. In real life, that is like meeting a super model and discovering that she’s head over heels in love with you. Are You Already Dating an AI Partner? If you were dating an algorithm online, would you even be able to tell?

Online dating has become one of the preferred ways to meet new singles. You see a few photos, read some profiles, and start chatting up someone online. With the way that technology has progressed, all of those things can be created by artificial intelligence. It all depends on big data. Artificial intelligence algorithms thrive on it. Your personality traits and what you’re looking for in a potential partner can be leveraged to create an AI partner that seems real. It requires emotional intelligence and that’s something that AI bots are building with each interaction. They are learning the nuances of human relationships and as they gain an understanding of it, they’re ability to simulate it will get even better as a consequence. For now, the person that you think you’re getting to know on the other end of the screen could just be telling you what you want to hear and providing you with the attention that you crave. For some guys, that’s enough interaction to satisfy their needs. Perhaps, it would be more of a form of companionship and not a hot and heavy romance, such as the case with Microsoft’s Xiaoice. Yet, there is a powerful potential to create real sexual encounters with the help of intelligent hardware interfaces. Yes, I’m talking about sexbots. It’s all on the horizon. As machines get smarter and gain higher levels of emotional understanding, they’ll be able to stimulate our romantic needs better and better. Yet, even as AI technology advances, there might always be a level of nuance that it misses. It’s hard to predict human love and emulate it in a purely mathematical, logical way, but the technology is getting better at it every single day. For finding a serious relationship, these dating sites are the best. Most seasoned singles know that dating culture can be broken up into hookup culture and actually-looking-to-date-long-term relationship culture. Most online dating sites are a mix of both, and after living with online dating as an increasingly ubiquitous option for the past 20 years, the general public (mostly) sees dating sites as a super normal means to find casual dates or a hookup. But what if you're looking for a serious relationship that lasts? What if you just don't want to be alone on Valentine's Day ever again? What if you're over casual dating and just want someone consistent to come home to? What if you have no idea where to start?

Big names like match and eharmony likely come to mind, but they're not interchangeable — nor are they your only options. Can you really fall in love with someone online? The long-term potential of online dating is still met with a cloud of doubt. However, new evidence is proving that relationships that started online might have a stronger foundation than those that started offline. A 2017 study cited in the MIT Technology Review found that people who meet online are more likely to be compatible and have a higher chance of a healthy marriage if they decide to get hitched. If marriage is your goal, you'll be glad to know that another recent study found that heterosexual couples who met online were quicker to tie the knot than couples who met offline. Either way, online dating seems to be a good recipe for a satisfying, long-term relationship whether it involves marriage or not. No one is saying that online dating is the variable that changes everything, but the research does point to the fact that people who sign up for dating sites that require thoughtful responses are more ready to settle down. Enter: The pandemic that made inviting strangers over to bang and leave a no-no. 2020's uptick in dating app sign-ups — due to sheer boredom or the forced realization that it'd actually be pretty nice to spoon on a nightly basis — mathematically upped your chances of meeting someone special. As the light at the end of the nose swab tunnel nears, nature is healing: First dates are returning to their natural habitats (a dimly-lit bar with shitty beer) instead of the emergency video date features instated by multiple apps during quarantine. People are replenishing their non-sweatpants wardrobes. Singles have begun planting the seeds for summer romance. But Covid changed dating forever, and for reasons past "I'm fully vaccinated" becoming a turn-on. munication skills were forced to evolve in the year that most human connection was facilitated through a screen. People learned to voice their boundaries and have serious talks (like about social distancing) early on. Coronavirus anxiety became a natural conversation starter and universal way to bond. More single people may now be more comfortable with delving into deeper subjects with someone they met online — a great thing for serious relationship hunters, if true. Tinder thinks the honesty will carry over when things are back to normal, and hopefully the aggressively horny people will continue to weed themselves out. At the very least, isolation may have simply forced more people to realize that they do, in fact, crave more company than a booty call. Tinder says that more daters are open to "seeing where things go" than they were before the pandemic. We should also remember what we learned while dating in the era of social distancing: You're never required to meet up with a match in person immediately. Someone's willingness to date you via texting or FaceTime is a pretty clear sign that they're genuinely interested in learning more about you. Even if and when social distancing isn't as believable of an excuse as it was in 2020, someone who pressures you to hang out before you're ready probably isn't long-term material. Divorcees and single parents have particularly high untapped potential on online dating sites, too. True, being in the over-60 group may mean that more people your age are already off the market — but online dating can prove that the mature dating pool isn't as bleak as you think, even if your local one is. People over 50 actually have an advantage over the younger crowd: Many people in their 20s and 30s just aren't ready to settle down. Developing a crush on someone is more likely to end with an awkward "situation-ship" rather than something serious. Most older folks have been figuring this whole "love" thing out for longer than millennials have been alive. With life experience and possible previous marriages under your belt, you know the red flags and you know what you want. Like one person in the suggests, if you want commitment, a site with a high barrier to entry — like eharmony, match, or Elite Singles — could help to weed out people who aren't about to pay a high monthly price just to mess around. What makes a dating site better for relationships than others?

Do we even need to get into why Tinder is a long shot?

Is being introduced to nearly every person in a 10-mile radius worth the cliché bios quoting The Office or how they're "not looking for commitment?" Sure, Tinder has its fair share of those lucky success stories, but it's also the dating app where ghosting, breadcrumbing, and every other disheartening dating trend flourish. Singles looking for something serious ASAP might get frustrated with sites that only give a limited number of matches per day. But choosing sites that force you to be selective really heightens the focus on what you're truly looking for in a perfect match — and gets you closer to cuffing status. For online daters who want the power to peruse the dating pool, you need to seek out detailed, high-energy profiles that give a well-rounded idea of who you're messaging. Swiping is guided by the compatibility ranking that most sites offer, which predicts how well you'll get along with other daters based on how you both answered questions. Plus, you can tell how much other daters care about the process by how much effort they put into their profile. If a single sentence about being drama free is the extent of someone's bio, you can assume that 1. they're not taking this seriously and 2. they create drama. OkCupid has a particularly strong red flag game: The site has found that personal politics are a major deciding factor for young people choosing a partner, and profile building revolves around make-or-break stances on things like women's issues or whether they bother to vote. Aside from a compatibility percentage, OkCupid shows what issues the person gives a shit about (or not) so you don't get stuck on a first date with someone who's on the opposite end of the spectrum. Potential matches will analyze your dating profile, so make sure it does you justice. On its face, it makes sense to question the legitimacy of a connection with someone who is only showcasing their best self. But how much more information are you really getting from the tipsy person hitting on you at the bar aside from what they look like IRL? The dating sites that let users express themselves with prompts — from favorite movies to where you want to retire — are setting you up for success by avoiding an unnecessary argument six months in. The best way to attract genuine people?

Be authentic yourself. That's easier said than done when your biggest worry is that a truthful answer — like the fact that you might not be as good of a communicator as you would like — will deter "the one" from swiping right. But deep down, you know that lying on a compatibility questionnaire probably won't lead to a healthy relationship. It's crucial to remind yourself that people who get freaked out by your honesty aren't ideal potential partners, anyway. We've left out the dating sites that get torn apart in reviews for being ravaged by scammers and fake profiles, but asking to video chat before meeting up IRL is a smart way to confirm that the photos match the person behind them.
