Happy Friday! It has been a bit of a hectic week (Pepper was spayed, keeping a puppy calm for 10 days is going to be interesting). Needless to say we are beyond ready for the weekend. It’s another crazy warm forecast with temps tomorrow in the 90s. Hopefully that means more swimming. Lots of great links this week. Wishing all of you a great weekend.

If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…

Great insights on the changing landscape of online dating! The breakdown of how people navigate different platforms and what they’re looking for really resonates. It’s interesting how the article highlights that success in online dating isn’t just about finding a match but building a connection over time. I particularly liked the emphasis on choosing the right platform based on personal values and relationship goals.
Speaking of platforms that align with values, I recently came across an insightful review on DoULike about Christian Cafe https://www.doulike.com/blog/online-dating/christian-cafe-reviews/ , which caters specifically to Christian singles seeking meaningful relationships. The review dives into the platform’s features, success stories, and even highlights some of the pros and cons of using it. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to explore niche dating sites where faith and values play a central role.
It’s fascinating to see how these platforms are evolving to meet the diverse needs of users. As online dating continues to grow, it’s encouraging that people can find spaces where they feel comfortable expressing who they are and what they’re looking for. Thanks for shedding light on these trends—looking forward to reading more!
