The first message looks perfect, the photos even better, until reality shows up with a completely different face.

Valerie spills all the tea on catfish chaos, love bombing, and gaslighting that turned a four-year relationship into a masterclass in ignoring your gut.

She shares the shocking moment she found proof and why giving a second chance only made her ex sneakier.

We talk dating across genders, STEM vibes, making the first move on Bumble and Hinge, and tiny habits that reveal big red flags.

Hear about a bikini barista date gone hilariously wrong, wild stories with financial domination, and even some celebrity app drama.

If you want laughs, jaw-dropping moments, and real dating hacks, hit play, share with a friend, and leave a review.

Singles, slide into Valerie’s DMs and see if you can earn that green-flag nod.
