Feature — Etiquette

The new rules are old rules, well-applied.

Modern dating doesn't need more performance — it needs clearer agreements. We teach etiquette as a literacy: small, repeatable acts that signal respect and make consent the easy default.

·
Confirm plans 24 hours ahead.
It respects time and removes the awkward 'are we still on?' text.
·
Decide on the bill in advance.
Money tension belongs out of the date, not during it.
·
Name your intentions early.
Causal, exclusive, exploring — clarity is kindness.
·
Close the loop after a date.
A short, honest message — yes, no, or maybe — is the standard.

Feature — Safety

Dating violence is rarely loud at first.
