Hello, and thank you for the warm welcome!
In the future, the Wednesday Wants and Needs will be for paid subscribers. But let’s get to know each other before I throw out my more controversial advice, like why I think you should pay on the first date.
Do you even want to get back into dating? Have you been out there and walked away in disgust? Are you a serial dating app deleter? (Come sit next to me.) Need advice on what to do when you see a co-worker or someone’s husband on an app? (It was shocking. The first time.) Or do you want to complain? Bring it.
If this came into your inbox, could you reply to send me your questions? If you read this on Substack, please add your question below in the comments section. Questions may be used in future newsletters, but I will change any identifying information and keep all identities confidential.
For those of you who prefer completely anonymous advice, I recommend the Dating Over 40 subreddit. Of course, like everywhere, some whiny posters are angry that dating isn’t like what they learned from beer commercials.
XOXO,
Lateefah
Come on in...
