Today Maddy and Jennifer lay out the ultimate roadmap for finding a partner in one year or less. With a mix of LOLs and practical advise they break down everything you need to know to make it happen—without losing sight of who you are.
The Roadmap:

• Define Your Needs: Create an exhaustive list of "non-negotiables" and "nice-to-haves" to clarify what you're looking for in a partner.
• Work on Yourself: Reflect on patterns from previous relationships, take responsibility for your role, and clean up your “side of the street.”
• Put Yourself Out There: Commit to being uncomfortable at least once a week, whether that’s going on a date, joining a new activity, or meeting new people.
• Optimize Your Dating Profile: Your profile should reflect who you are and invite connection.
• Move Quickly to IRL Dates: Limit prolonged texting to avoid false intimacy. Use simple, direct language to transition to in-person meetings and assess real-life chemistry.
• Adopt a Yes-And Attitude: During dates, stay curious and open.
• Own Your Solo Time: Learn to enjoy and prioritize your own company.
