Dating was supposed to be simple. You meet someone, you like them, they like you, you go on dates, and eventually you become a couple. Somewhere along the way, however, modern dating decided that wasn't complicated enough, so now we have dating apps, talking stages, mixed signals, ghosting, situationships, soft launches, hard launches, read receipts, "good morning" texts that may or may not mean anything, and conversations where two people are clearly emotionally involved but somehow still don't know what they are.
The "What Are We?" Guide is a hilarious, brutally relatable, and completely unofficial survival manual for navigating modern dating and relationships without losing your dignity, your sleep, or approximately six hours analyzing a three-word text message. It takes a funny look at the strange things we do when we like someone, the games we convince ourselves we're not playing, the chaos of texting, the confusion of the talking stage, the emotional gymnastics of situationships, and the terrifying moment when someone finally asks, "So... what are we?"
This isn't a book promising to turn you into a dating expert. It's a story-driven look at the ridiculous, awkward, confusing, and sometimes genuinely sweet reality of trying to connect with another human being in the age of smartphones and unlimited ways to misunderstand each other.
Because sometimes they're busy. Sometimes they're not interested. Sometimes you are overthinking. Sometimes they're overthinking too. And sometimes both of you are just sitting there waiting for somebody to define the relationship.
Welcome to modern dating.
We have no idea what we're doing either.
