How to Brag on a First Date

We’ve all been there; sitting at a table opposite someone who cannot seem to stop talking about the long list of their own achievements. They don’t let you get a word in, they list off their selling points like they’re trying to goad you into giving them a job. It becomes a monologue about them, and how great they are.

The age-old question of whether men and women can maintain purely platonic friendships has fueled countless romantic comedies, sparked heated debates, and left many wondering if genuine cross-gender friendships are actually possible. “There’s no way she’s just a friend,” say so many of that ‘best friend’… who just so happens to be both a girl and ‘one of the guys’.

The link between overall attractiveness and a giving personality has long been drawn, but is it really true? When it comes to dating, one of the key questions that crops up is how do I make myself more attractive to those that I find attractive?

Seeking Explores Modern Dating App Etiquette

In 2026, dating app etiquette shifts towards authenticity, clarity, and efficiency, prioritizing genuine connection over endless swiping; focus on clear profiles with recent photos, use voice/video to build trust quickly, move conversations to real dates swiftly, and embrace emotional honesty, ditching game-playing for “green flags” like accountability and direct communication about intentions (e.g., “Clear-coding”). It’s about showing up as yourself, respecting time, and using apps as a tool, not a destination, building “Micro-Mances” (small thoughtful actions) over grand gestures.  If you have ever been on a traditional dating app, you know that most of the people using them have no ...

How to Stay Intentional When Everyone Else Quits Their Resolutions

Resolutions are not just January goals; they are long-term commitments to growth and fresh starts.

It is easy to give up because we often set our intentions while celebrating the Holidays. Set yourself up for success by not allowing yourself to think of January as the “final draft”, but the first round of outlines for how you want your year to look and feel–in your own life and your love life.  For those who already have a partner, or are ...

Seeking’s 2025 Holiday Gift Guide

Great gifts—the ones people bring up months later—aren’t necessarily grand or expensive. They just fit. Into their routine. Into their quirks. Into their life in a way that makes them feel seen rather than merchandised. So Seeking has pulled together a list for that in-between stage, and for the maddeningly self-sufficient people whose Amazon carts cost more than your last vacation. These picks aren’t filler. They’re intentional. The objects people quietly covet but refuse to buy for themselves. The things that say, “I actually get you”—without ever saying it out loud.
