Are you just completely and utterly done with the online dating scene?

It seems like the only guys out there are interested in only one thing...Tinder I'm looking at you. It's no longer online DATING; it has turned into just a hookup scene which is fine, but what about when you actually want to meet someone and fall in love?

Let's shake things up a bit and try out some new apps that I promise you will be worth the switch.

1. Coffee Meets Bagel

Are you completely overwhelmed with the amounts of messages (that are borderline creepy, let’s be honest) flooding into your Tinder inbox? Coffee Meets Bagel is an app that cuts out all of the crap. Every day at noon you are presented with a bagel, a match. How incredibly cute is that?! The app also only connects to your Facebook to find matches and it honestly makes you hustle because you only have 24 hours to decide if you like your bagel or if you’re going to pass. If none of this has been convincing enough, this app also offers discounts at local restaurants and coffee shops. Discount food…c’mon!

2. Tastebuds

If someone’s music tastes differ from yours, do you automatically say “Nah, not interested”? Same girl, same. Honey, this app is perfect for you. With Tastebud, you are only matched with people who listen to the same music as you! So, you get a hot date and unlimited jam sessions. I don't know about you, but jam sessions to the fave artist equals true love in my book.

3. Meet Me Outside

If you are someone who absolutely dreads sitting in a stuffy restaurant with someone you don’t know, you should definitely check out Meet Me Outside. This app takes a list of your favorite things to do and matches it with like-minded people! It suggests super cool outings that you can do with your potential partner to avoid that awkward question “So, what do you want to do?” It gets you off your phone and out living life!

4. Happn

Now, this dating app is pretty dope. Have you ever wondered if you have crossed paths with your future hubby? If you ever were in the candy aisle at target internally debating over m&ms and sour patch kids and had absolutely no idea that your future love was RIGHT THERE? This app literally shows you people you cross paths with on a daily basis – the restaurants you frequent, your gym, that really cute coffee shop you study in – and matches you up! It might be just a tad creepy, but it’s super cute.

5. Bumble

Created by the co-founder of Tinder, Whitney Wolfe, Bumble is designed to empower women to strike up conversations on their own without waiting on the man. Once you swipe right on a match, it’s added to your “hive” of connections and you have only 24 hours to make that move! If you’re too slow, you lose that match forever. Time to hustle ladies!

6. Hinge

Does the thought of online dating completely creep you out? It’s hard to not wonder if you’re being catfished or if some creep will show up. Hinge completely eliminates the creep-factor and only matches you with friends of friends in your social circle. Every day you get 20 matches that you can either swipe yes or no and bonus, the app now features your Facebook relationship status so all of those two-faced cheaters will be cut out!

7. Grouper

Now, this app is truly unique; instead of just messaging back and forth waiting for the other person to FINALLY ask the other out, this app lets you jump right in. Grouper sets you up on not just a one-on-one date, but a TRIPLE date! How insane is that?! The app matches you up with two people using your Facebook and from there everyone has to bring two friends. No info is shared before the date. It is literally blind dating to the max! Everyone pays $20 – to avoid those who chicken out or want to be cheap – which pays for the pre-planned date and the dating service! If it completely just does not work, at least you’re out with friends!

Alright ladies, let's get to swiping.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
