He told me he was looking for a woman who 'challenges him.'

And I thought, 'Great, I can start by challenging your assumption that 'tidying up' means moving things from one flat surface to another.'

I'm trying to be more spontaneous in my dating life.

Last week, I spent three hours spontaneously overthinking whether I should text him back immediately or wait a strategic 23 minutes.

When I'm trying on clothes at the store, it's not just a fitting room experience.

It's a full-blown montage sequence set to an indie pop anthem, where I discover my true self in a sensible blazer, culminating in a dramatic slow-motion spin under the fluorescent lights.

He asked me on a first date what my ideal lazy Sunday looked like.

I spent a solid minute debating if I should say 'mimosas and a farmer's market' or 'binge-watching true crime in sweatpants, possibly still wearing yesterday's mascara.'
