A Cynical Romantic’s Guide to Digital Love

Love these days feels like a mix of fairy tales, dating apps, cosmic signs, and emotional whiplash.

In this Cynical Romantic mini-series, I unpack the biggest modern myths we’ve all fallen for — the idea of “The One,” the universe’s obsession with romantic coincidence, and why chemistry alone keeps getting us into trouble.

With humor, honesty, and a few hard-earned lessons, I explore where soulmate culture came from, how it became a marketing goldmine, and why real love has far more to do with compatibility, consistency, and showing up than destiny or perfect timing.

From spooky synchronicities to passionate chaos disguised as fate, these stories cut through the fantasy without killing the hope.

Because love can still be magical — just not magical enough to ignore red flags, boundaries, or reality.

A little cynicism.
A lot of heart.
And a healthier way to think about modern romance.
