About two weeks ago I matched with someone who actually made the app feel worth it. We talked for days, the good kind of talking, where you keep picking your phone back up to see if he answered. It never got weird or thin.

I caught my boyfriend texting his ex for six months
It started in November. I noticed Chai-5 would get a little weird every time his phone buzzed at night. I trusted him. Then I borrowed his phone to look up directions and saw the chain with Mocha-7. Months of it. Pet names.

our 'anonymous' survey isn't anonymous
every year the survey comes out. same three lines in the email every time. completely anonymous. leadership only ever sees aggregate. we really want to hear from you, be honest. most years I write nothing real, same as everyone.
