Given the extent to which I cover dating apps, you may be surprised to know that I’m not much of a digital dater. In fact, I’ve only ever had monogamous, exclusive relationships with people I’ve met offline, with one booty call exception. Shout out to the man I now refer to as “Tinder Tim.” I met my current girlfriend at a BBQ, and the one before that through… Read MoreBeing Lets You Browse Instagram As Anyone, From Pop Stars To BFFs
