“It’s the same phenomenon as during COVID – around the holidays, people are terrified of being alone,” says Lianne Tregobov, president of the 29-year-old matchmaking company Camelot Introductions. “It’s harder to avoid feelings of loneliness in January when you had longed to be standing under the mistletoe.”
‘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.

Lovers in a dangerous time
