I would like to share with you my own experience. It seems to me that first of all, you should study all the myths about these sites here https://skyrisecities.com/news/2020/03/condo-vs-house-what-you-should-know since I think it will be useful for you then pay attention to such things there. I hope it will help you too.

You know, recently I saw an article about online dating in with young people with the help of social networks and this article is on this link https://sharpologist.com/diversion-a-girlfriend-should-be-younger-a-social-stereotype-or-reality/ so I thought it would be very interesting for you too, so you can also try to study this topic in more detail now.

"have him text me for a change" after literally telling the guy she's busy all weekend. So little awareness

Man, this girl is a lot pretentious and a lot awkward. She doesn't match Nick's energy at all! She does a lot of evaluating instead of simply observing/learning about Nick. I'm surprised Nick didn't feel shut down

Oh boy...we were having a drink and everything was going well, and then I noticed a strange bruise in his arm...I asked and he admitted having strangled a dog the day before. I walked away.
