Cardinal Rules of Dating

Anyone who’s hung out with me more than 2 times has probably heard me drone on and on about my cardinal rules of dating.

I’ve got three - and I think this is an important enough topic that each merits its own post. So, in no particular order, the cardinal rule I’m discussing here is:

No paying for online dating

This might not sit well with some of you, especially the males. But, personally, and I explain this to all my friends, the moment I drop a dime on a dating app, whether its tinder, OKC, Match, coffee meets bagel, bumble, etc. I’m essentially paying someone to (want to) be/sleep with me. Whether that’s in the form of a temporary profile boost, getting unlimited swipes, undos, or whatever the feature; to me it all boils down to paying for a relationship and I don’t think that’s a mentality I will ever get over.
