After a bad breakup in January 2025, I made a decision: I would say yes to every reasonable date opportunity for a full year. Apps, setups from friends, random encounters — if someone asked, I went.
Moving to DFW next month from Chicago for work. I am 28, single, and I know nobody. Is this a good city to be single in? Specifically I want to know: Where should a single 28-year-old live?
I need to vent about something that I think is a uniquely 2026 dating problem, but DFW makes it worse. I have been in three "situationships" in the past 2 years.
DFW to Houston. DFW to Austin. DFW to San Antonio. The Texas triangle long-distance relationship is more common than people think. I am currently in one and here is the reality.
This topic comes up constantly in DFW dating circles and every conversation devolves into absolutes. Let me try to add some nuance. The common "rule": Half your age plus 7.
I deleted all dating apps 6 months ago. I was burnt out. The endless swiping, the ghosting, the conversations that go nowhere. I decided to meet people the old-fashioned way.
DFW dating is wild. I will go first with my worst, then drop yours below. My story: The Double Date That Wasn't Matched with a guy on Hinge. Great conversation for 2 weeks.
Just got out of a 2-year relationship. In hindsight, every red flag was there from month one. I just chose not to see them. Here are mine — share yours below.
First dates are stressful enough without worrying about where to go. Here is the definitive DFW first date guide organized by how much you want to spend.
I have been on all three apps in DFW for the past year. Here is the honest breakdown for this specific metro.
I've been here long enough to know which stereotypes are BS and which ones are dead on. The big trucks one? Absolutely real. Every third vehicle on the highway is an F-150 or bigger.
This happened on the DART Green Line from Pearl Station heading toward Buckner last Thursday evening. Rush hour, train was packed.
I live in a residential neighborhood in south Arlington. Single-family homes, families, working people. It is not a college area.
One of my closest friends since college — we have been friends for 8 years — joined one of those wellness MLMs about a year ago.
I work at a retail store in NorthPark Center. One of my coworkers — I will call her Jen — has asked me to cover her shift 5 times in the past month.
My fiance and I are getting married in October at a venue in the Fort Worth Stockyards. We chose to have a childfree wedding.
My daughter is 9 years old and in 4th grade at an elementary school in Keller, TX. Over the past 3 months, a boy in her class has been systematically bullying her.
My mother-in-law (MIL) is 67 years old. She lives in Houston. She has been hinting for months that she wants to "spend more time with the grandkids." My wife and I have two kids, ages 4 and 7.
I live in a neighborhood in Prosper, TX. CC&Rs clearly state no boats, RVs, or trailers visible from the street. I read the CC&Rs before buying. So did everyone else (theoretically).
This happened last Friday at a restaurant in Bishop Arts. I am not naming the place because I am not trying to hurt their business — just questioning whether I was wrong.
I need an outside perspective because my roommate and all her friends think I am the villain here. I (26F) have been sharing a 2-bed apartment in Uptown Dallas with my roommate (27F) for 14 months.
I am not a tinfoil hat person. I work in tech. But the amount of data being collected about you in 2026 is staggering.
DFW has some of the worst commute times in America. Average is 28.4 minutes per the Census Bureau, and if you are on 635 or I-35 it is easily 45-60 minutes. Might as well learn something.
Every year this debate happens. Every year both sides are wrong. Here is the honest breakdown from someone who carries both an iPhone 16 Pro and a Pixel 9 Pro daily.
I collected salary data from DFW tech workers, public sources, and my professional network. Here is where DFW stands compared to other Texas metros and remote roles.
I work in cybersecurity at a DFW financial services company. Here are the things I wish every person knew. The big three that prevent 90% of attacks: Use a password manager.
