It's almost that time of the year that the kids call "cuffing season." When the weather starts to get cooler, fall arrives and hot girl summer is over. Everyone is ready to curl up on the couch with a warm drink, some movies and ideally another person. This isn't as easy as it sounds though, the world of dating is a scary and intimidating place. Online dating, though efficient and convenient, is also filled with thousands of awkward conversations and scary encounters from all kinds of strange people around the world. Not to say finding love in a place like Tinder is totally hopeless, but it is like finding a needle in a haystack, so good luck to all this season.
