    “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain” is my new life motto! Thanks, Dolly Parton, for the dating wisdom. And thanks, article, for the laughs and the solid advice!

    I never knew dating could be so much like a job interview! “Tell me about yourself,” “What are your hobbies?” Who knew romance was just a series of carefully crafted questions?

    I love how this article says “be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn, then be a unicorn”! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a unicorn on a date? Just imagine the Instagram stories!

    “Don’t be a creep” is my new dating mantra! I mean, who hasn’t sent an unsolicited dick pic by accident… oh wait, that’s just not a thing I want to admit to. Thanks for the advice, article!
