Love & Sex

That you are single has everything to do with your name

Is it just not going well with those dates, those hopeless flings including walk of shames and that endless swiping right and left? You can't help it.

Because it turns out that some people have more luck in love than others and that has everything to do with their first name. Look, that naked gstring lying somewhere lost on the floor of your nocturnal adventure: it's quite exhausting. Then he doesn't text again, then five times in one day, then he's annoyingly clingy again and then he's too cool and very hard to get. No moment of peace, as a single. And all those insecurities in love.

That tug-of-war, that not-quite feeling, not calling it a relationship but still seeing each other every day. Staying over every week but ho ho, no meet the parents. Going on a double date with a couple of friends and a weekend away, but not celebrating Valentine's Day together. And then it's suddenly over again. Without a clear reason. Know from now on that nothing is your fault. Nothing.

Because just your name determines whether you are a hit in the game of love.
