“Sometimes, modern dating can be difficult to navigate. With a plethora of dating apps and sites and too many bars to choose from in a city as cold as Toronto in February, it can seem as though there’s no chance for romance for aspiring writers spending their weekends in Room 153 of the Goldring Student Centre. Campus may be cynical, but there is nothing more jaded than a single UofT student. We couldn’t help but wonder—is there any hope for student journalists looking to find love?” — Carrie Bradshaw

Once, I went on what I thought was a date with this cool girl, but then she mentioned her girlfriend, so I thought, “That sucks, but whatever.” A few months later, I went on another so-called date with a different girl from Tinder, who was also in a relationship, and she ended up being the girlfriend of the first girl
