Curved Chronicle: 01:13:20 Chronicle from Pearl Hello Dr. Money and Nikeeta, I match with cute girls all the time but I have no idea what to do after that. I’ve talked to a few of them for a week or two but it never goes anywhere. I don’t understand how people make connections on dating apps. I’m the kind of person that likes to look people in the eyes, I’m a good judge of character that way. I don’t know how to do that through messaging. Am I overthinking it? I really want to meet new people. I would appreciate any wisdom y’all can share. Send us your curved chronicles to QueerWOCpod@gmail.com
