Start Smart: Why Mindful Dating Is the Real Glow-Up 💡❤️

Let’s face it — dating today can feel like swiping through chaos, hoping for connection. But here's the truth: the best relationships don’t start with perfect profiles; they start with intentional effort.

Welcome to DateSmart — a space where we leave the games behind and focus on real, mindful connections.

💬 Here are 3 small shifts that make a big difference in dating:

Ask better questions. Instead of “What do you do?”, try “What’s something you're excited about lately?” It opens doors to real conversations.

Slow down to notice the vibe. Chemistry is great, but emotional safety is 🔑. How do you feel after talking to them — calm, seen, anxious, confused?

Don’t confuse attention with intention. Just because someone texts often doesn’t mean they’re serious. Consistency + clarity = real interest.

✨ Whether you're newly single or just tired of meaningless chats, remember: you’re allowed to raise your standards. Dating smart isn’t about overthinking — it’s about aligning with what really matters.

Follow DateSmart for daily insights, tips, and honest takes on love in the modern world.

Okay. So I added all the bucketlists to my profile. Here is how they appear on my Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble, in order of the pictures.

I decided to upload them today because I really wanted to get it going for June, but I will be busy tomorrow (all you can eat sushi for my friend's birthday I mean c'mon I won't be on iPhone for any of that) and just decided the earlier the better.

So far, returning back to dating apps has depressed me once again. I don't like small talk over the internet, which is part of the reason I'm even doing this. The theory is, each choice will give me an understanding of the person. Plus, dragging out the talking stage with no definite goal is truly the end of humanity so I'm doing my job to erradicate that.

I added the #bringbackhavingfuninthesummer hashtag because I wanted it to be a little more lighthearted than a demand. IDK. I almost did #makesummerfunagain but I didn't want to give one single person the wrong impression of me (and the impression would be that I'm a bigot).

I am a little nervous but I think it it will be okay. If it doesn't work out for me, I am working on my french. Peut-être I can move there. Au revoir!

I Got Flown Out by a Professional Benchwarmer and Regret Was Immediate

God Was Belt to Ass That Entire Trip A Cautionary Tale One time I got flown out by a guy who “played” a professional sport and I’m saying professional very loosely. I’m not talking “last few minutes of the game” loose. I’m talking his ass was glued to the bench so hard, I don’t even think he had a uniform. He was basically a team prop. A mascot in Nikes. Now, I know you’re reading this like,…

Is it hard dating as a transgender woman? Does being a content creator on onlyfans narrow your chances of finding “The one”?

I want to start off by start off by saying my name is Cassidy, I currently live in Upstate New York. I’m 24, pre op and wanted to start answering questions and posting blog updates on my life from my onlyfans and instagram. Links are in bio here for you! 

 So I guess I'll jump right in. The dating pool right now for me at least sucks - well I shouldn't say suck.. there's options hahaha most guys my age aren't on that same wave length as me. *insert squid games music*

 I have found that I've connected better with guys somewhat older than me. Dating or even starting a relationship takes two, and I feel like recently with covid everyone has just been speed dating from being cooped up for so long lol. From my relationships over the years, I’ve only dated straight men, and I know that might be hard for some to wrap their mind around. But I am a straight transgender woman, I've never been with a girl besides the casual drunk makeout in the past. My relationships consisted of ups and downs as any relationship does. I know I got into relationships I wasn't ready for and let myself and my partner down. I wanted that validation and token of saying im someones girlfriend and that they love me and accept me. I would get attached so easily and so fast purely because they accept me. 

Its been a lot of online dating and meeting up, fast paced, hot, steamy, and then fizzles out. I get caught up really easily and its hard for me to retain a conversation unless someone really catches my interest. I must say I love my alone time and seem to like people more from a distance. But I like my cuddles and need attention... so where does that leave me??? All in all I would definitely say say dating as a transgender woman has its challenges, especially where you are in your transition. I also think sex plays a huge role and what a guy is willing to do or try. I know everyone has different levels of curiosity and acceptance. Everyone deserves happiness and if you have-not found it yet just know its within yourself and loving yourself is key. It will shine through. If you're interested I can make another post about how i’ve mastered silky smooth skin with a razor that lasts for days- I never get ANY razor bumps.especially around your cookie. knock on wood. lol or anything to help understand more about dating a trans woman. I’m an open book!!

  I guess I haven't found “THE ONE” so to say, and onlyfans has actually helped me gain some recognition and has helped me connect with wonderful people. I don't think OF narrows your chance of dating.. maybe with a certain type of someone yes. I know OF isn't everyone cup of tea. I love meeting new faces and exploring different paths and really learning about someone and its interesting without any faces or anything connected with their pictures... its a mystery game.. but its just words and like I said I have met some very charming folks that I love talking to everyday and look forward to possibly meeting if the wind takes me there haha. I’ve met a lot of guys that I thought was the one.. but everything happens for a reason and even though my past relationships didn't work out I truly did make a couple lifelong friends and supporters.

How I Found Myself on Bumble

I’ve been single for a couple months now. I was ready to get back out there...and I did. But hello Corona-19 and the stay-at-home order. Anyway, the order came on Thursday night, the 19th of March. I made it approximately 5 days before craving some attention.  So what do I do?  Remake my fucking Bumble. That’s right...fucking...Bumble. I hate Bumble. I hate dating apps. I hate it all, I loathe it. But I’m bored as hell. 

I swiped so much that I wasn’t allowed to swipe until the next day. And I chatted and chatted. A little attention here. A little attention there. Quarantine really knows how to bring out true intentions, that’s for sure.  It’s not that I’m looking for a relationship. I don’t know what I’m looking for and it says so on my Bumble profile. But man...oh...man, I didn’t expect it to go this way. 

Signing off, 

QuarantineBumbleBee

Dear Future Boyfriend I’m currently sharing my bed with a load of laundry, 3 purses, both my phones and all their accessories, a book and a cabinet’s worth of snacks. And although this makes for a decent snuggle companion I’d trade it all in for morning cuddles with you. Well maybe not the snacks after all we both gotta eat 💁🏾‍♀️. #dearfutureboyfriend #dating #datingblog #datinghumor https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bhgA6DnoP/?igshid=1qztwe6quwgyr

Introduction

Hello lovers,

I created this blog with the intention of offering advice and stories from my experience with my long-distance relationship (LDR). I had no previous LDR experience until my relationship now, and wish I had more people to talk to going through the same thing as me. I wanted to create this blog with the intention of fostering a loving and supportive LDR community- as we all know not everyone is supportive/informed about LDRs as we are. I will be going by Mandy (f/20) and referring to my boyfriend as Alex (f/21) to protect our privacy. 

Please feel free to ask questions, submit stories, or email me at relationshipblog.longdistance@gmail.com ♡
