Online Dating Advice, Professional Headshot Tips, Dating Etiquette & Online Dating Tips, Help For Men, Women
An exhaustive blog ranging from photo tips, dating, bios, prompts, communication, dating apps, matchmakers, ghostwriters, first impressions, rejection, fashion, date ideas, meeting people offline, modern dating culture, second dates, trends, red flags, screening people, etiquette and more.
Dating advice for men, women, divorced folks, short guys, tall women, people of color, engineers, introverts and everyone in between. Dating is complicated but it doesn’t have to be.
Many people don’t talk about their dating lives with others (even people close to them). Rather than spin wheels and make countless mistakes with dating apps, take some time to read up on etiquette, best practices, expectations, strategy and more below.
For those seeking to hire me directly, check out my dating services here.
- Online Dating Photos (natural, candid like a friend took them)
- Dating Profile Reviews (photos, prompts, bios, captions, app choice, photo order etc)
- Online Dating Coaching (screening profiles, understanding algorithms, using preferences/filters appropriately, messaging)
