How do I dislike a profile?
Please use track changes.
What if I disliked a profile by accident?
Write “stet.”
Are you hiring freelancers?
No.
Can I end my “About me” section with a preposition?
Doing so will make you someone out with whom dates will not go.
What are some good date ideas for copy editors?
For clarity, we recommend MM/DD/YYYY.
What does the AP Stylebook say about sex on the first date?
Sex on the first date should not be capitalized, unless it comes as a huge surprise, in which case it should read as “SEX ON THE FIRST DATE??”
Do I need a hyphen in “sex-pest”?
You should not be using that word in your profile.
Are you hiring freelancers now?
We will never hire you.
How do I know if I contracted an STD?
STD is an initialism, not a contraction.
What if more people have been on dates than I have?
Rephrase?
Can I use British spellings?
It’s not our favourite.
I just wanted to offer my freelance services for a small fee.
That’s not a question.
Can you check my colon usage?
We’re not doctors.
How can I know if I got my date pregnant?
Proofread their messages carefully. Did they miss a period?
My date told me they’re disinterested. Should I assume they’re also uninterested?
You’re just showing off now.
Will I ever find love?
Yes. Our style guide is organized alphabetically, so “love” can be found between “louche” and “lowbrow.” Unfortunately, our algorithms indicate you will die alone.
