We are so happy to have you here with us in the infinite abyss of navigating being single in the city of Philadelphia. Philly was ranked as one of the worst cities in which to be single in the United States. We know this because Haley’s father sent her the article after her last particularly public break-up. (If you’re wondering if you can take advice from someone who talks to their Dad about their break-ups then we understand, but in her defense this is the only person her father has EVER known I’ve dated, and she was beyond mortified).

To introduce ourselves, we’re Haley and Madeline two single girls in their late twenties and/or early thirties making the most of the insanity that is dating and existing in 2018. We think we’ve got a pretty on-key take on dating, life, and maxing out credit cards that many women (or men? probably not) can relate to. Also maybe we’re a little bit narcissistic and think we’re funnier than all the other people doing the same thing. Anyways, the point is we get it, we’re here for it, and we’re here to offer some guidance and solutions.

We’re room-mates who have been living together since 2016. We met through some bananas friend of a friend of a friend story that is crazy enough to make you believe in fate again. The first two questions Haley asked was “Are you single? Do you like to go out?”. Madeline thought these were trick questions, but turns out the answer was thankfully YES to all of the above.

We love to go out. We are online dating experts; as in we’ve been doing it longer than presumably anyone in the world since we’re the last two single girls, and are here to tell you which spots to go on early dates, later dates, drunk dates, and coffee dates. We’ll describe vibes, give you menu do’s and don’ts, and in general help you avoid the pit-falls of awfulness that may befall you. We made the mistakes so you don’t have to. We’ll also help you be the most awesome single version of yourself by giving unsolicited advice on things to do to keep yourself from going crazy while you’re the last one of your best friends from college to NOT be engaged.

(Just us? We’ll get back to my Sunday afternoon of vacuuming and listening to pod-casts. Actually, maybe just me I should note Madeline is still asleep since she stayed out on a date until 5 am this morning AFTER we went to dinner and drinks last night. What a world.)
