a Taylor Swift power ballad. Bonus points if there’s slow-mo laughing.

to unresolved childhood trauma. Who needs therapy, amiright?

Rule #3: Background checks are optional. Deodorant is not. Hygiene is the only love language that matters.

Rule #4: Send a text to your date the day after. Show them you’re thinking about them. We’re ghosting ghosts in this economy.

Rule #5: Eye contact is everything! The eyes are windows to the soul, but also the fastest way to tell if someone wants to bang you

or if they’re just in it for the food. To be fair, both are valid desires.

Rule #6: Find a balance between listening and sharing. No one wants a podcast episode on your mommy issues.

Rule #7: Must kiss on the first date. If you ain’t locking lips night one, you ain’t locking hips ever.

Rule #8: Chemistry can be created. A hot Spotify playlist, warm lighting, and a healthy dose of delusion can really set the mood.

Rule #9: Make plans to see each other again before the end of the date. Games are for PlayStation.

Rule #10: DTR. Define the Relationship. If you’re swapping memes at midnight and wearing each other’s hoodies, it’s time for some labels.

Bonus Rule: Never under any circumstances fall for your best friend’s grumpy brother with a sexy thigh tattoo. It won’t end well.
