‘My ex is a narcissist’: Experts break down dating advice on TikTok

There is lots of advice available for public consumption when it comes to dating and one popular way to consume this advice is through the app TikTok — but experts agree that not all the advice is good and it can actually be harmful when it comes to finding love.

The app is full of people sharing their opinions on what’s wrong with dating nowadays, with many sharing a list of “red flags to look out for.” But some argue these so-called “red flags” are just part of who somebody is and it doesn’t mean they are undateable or toxic.

Striking a match

Lianne Tregobov has been making matches for 27 years. As it turns out, not even a global pandemic can stop Cupid’s arrows.

“As people isolated alone and restrictions were lifted, we got busy,” says Tregobov, the owner of matchmaking service Camelot Introductions. “It gave them time to reflect and to realize that they know who they are and that they want to share life with somebody.

“The first isolation was very, very difficult on a lot of people, so, believe it or not, my December 2020 and January of this year were far busier than what they were last year, pre-pandemic.”
