Read this before you take any guide as gospel.

The guides on HeartGuide are general information, written in plain language for adults. They are not professional advice — not relationship counselling, not therapy, not legal advice, and not medical advice. They are one person's honest take on common dating situations, and they are no substitute for a qualified professional when a situation calls for one.

No guarantees

No guide on this site can guarantee an outcome. Dating involves another person with their own feelings, history, and choices, and no sentence you send — however well written — can control how they respond. Use the guides as a starting point, not a promise. If something in a guide does not fit your situation, trust your own judgement over the guide.

Serious problems need real help

If a relationship involves controlling behaviour, repeated broken trust, or anything that affects your safety or wellbeing, a guide is not enough. Please reach out to a professional — a counsellor or therapist — or, if you feel unsafe, to a support service in your country. In the United States, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233. In the United Kingdom, the National Domestic Abuse Helpline is 0808 2000 247. Both are free and confidential.

Accuracy

The guides are checked before publication and corrected when readers point out mistakes. Even so, things change — dating apps change their features, norms shift — and a guide can go out of date. If you spot something wrong, tell us through the Contact page.
