Standing ovation! Just hearing about this conference second-hand made me cringe. I’m so glad you saw through all the bullshit.

You are so right. You can be the perfect human but if something wasn’t meant to be, it’s not meant to be. It’s a difficult thing to hear, but there is simply no algorithm for dating success. It happens or it doesn’t, and the sooner people are okay with this the happier they will be. At least that’s my two cents.

This was very well-written, Jill! I wrote a similar piece a while back about dating advice platitudes. Feel free to read it if you’re interested; no pressure of course!
