Bel. Help! I’ve been in and out of relationships for all my 20s and in and out of believing in love, too. (Is it real? Will it happen to me? Is it a lie?).

Then BOOM recently I’ve met someone who I really like. But do I like them because I’m horny, and it’s been a while, and everyone on the apps is shit? Or are they cool? What if someone else better comes along, but I’ve already shared my Netflix password with them? How do you KNOW????

Dear investigative crush journalist.

We call this process ‘Sherlocking’. It’s when you’ve first met someone, and you go on a social detective hunt to see if they meet your dating standards and find out some clues as to whether or not you should put your energy into them.

Sounds like a lot of admin though, I know.

Luckily, we made a small criteria for this in our book. But this is the internet, and this is now, and we need to get you some answers on this little screen for you to think about.
