The post-date reward meal is everything!!! Mine is my emotional support grilled cheese that I doordash from the diner. Hits the spot every time.

Luv this! My new book about swipe culture and the darker side of dating apps explores many of these complex and compelling issues ❤️✴️❤️

I'd want a capsule snack wardrobe so I always have something on hand that fits the success or disappointment of the date. Crunchy chips and guac to quell my anxiety about whether they'll call if it was left up in the air or they promised they would, silky dilly bean soup with cabbage and frizzled onions (https://www.alisoneroman.com/recipes/dilly-bean-stew-with-cabbage-and-frizzled-onions - omfg do not delay, make it today!) to honor the magic that was the smooth first kiss, sweet fluffy pastry to sop up my tears when I think it went well and they say, "this was fun, but I don't think it's going to work out."

Thank you, Ariella, think we share a dating uniform 😍, and the half shave trick? Used not just for dating. Priceless 🙏🏽😂
