Interesting post a friend shared. I don't know that I agree 100% with every distinction the author makes, but I think that's because love is a difficult thing to nail down in specifics. What do you think?

I wrote a piece for Medium about why we should all cry more at conferences. I also saw an INCREDIBLE movie for free last week, and you should go see it while it's in theaters! So good!

I'm not big on pre-planning conversation ideas, but I know some people feel a million times more relaxed when they have a mental list they can fall back on.

What a great post—she makes the very helpful point that it's not just about the end game, it's also about actually enjoying yourself which is harder than it seems like it should be sometimes.

What an excellent take on "Catfish." She puts it better than I ever have.

A friend just sent me a link to this Better Boyfriend gift subscrption service. What do y'all think? I don't have a problem with it—I think there are lots of ways to be thoughtful, and choosing to spend the money on a service like this totally counts—but I bet you there's a bunch of backlash.

Any Seattle Heartographer peeps want to come to a free advanced screening of Sleeping With Other People? Say hi if you join us!

"Whim" seems like a cool app concept, but I foresee problems—namely, safety, and people flaking out *after* dates are arranged. It's hard to use tech alone to solve human behavior problems!

I'm so glad this app is being developed—but I wish I didn't hate the name so much. Maybe it's just me? :)

That Ashley Madison hack is making waves. Change your password. And maybe your username. And possibly the email address associated with your dating profile(s). And make sure your Facebook password is super strong, like, unmemorizably strong!

It's not exactly Amy Schumer material, but this is a pretty funny webseries so far.

That's a mouthful of a headline, but it's also kind of a funny/interesting story. (And way to go with that incomplete caption translation, while we're at it.)
