A few years ago at our family reunion my reply to 'you ain't married yet???'was, "all my time is my own and I really like it that way." I admit I stole that from Tracee Ellis Ross. I am extremely happy being single and wish everyone this kind of joy and peace.
You're a terrific writer, Dr. April. I loved this post. I have a question: what's your opinion of people on dating apps who put in their profile that they're only looking for friends even though they also describe the kind of partner they're looking for? It strikes me as disingenuous, but maybe I'm missing something. Why not just say something like, "I'm looking to get to know each other slowly, under no pressure, and see if any chemistry develops?" P.S. Thanks so much for the shoutout!

Thanks, Moorea!
I'd say those folks are sending unclear/mixed signals. It sounds like they really do want a partner but like you said... a no pressure situation.
If unsure, you could always just ask. With the right person, directness will be appreciated and refreshing!
