Online dating can be an endless source of entertainment, laughter, and sometimes even weirdness. You just need to know where to look. That’s where the ‘Overheard Bumble’ Instagram account comes into play. Part of the sprawling ‘Overheard’ online empire that started with ‘Overheard LA,’ ‘Overheard Bumble’ collects the most amusing conversations that have ever played out on the dating app. We’ve compiled this list of the best ones for your enjoyment, Pandas. We’re sure you’ll enjoy them, even if you’ve never touched a dating app with a ten-foot bamboo pole in your life.
Don’t forget to upvote your fave posts and keep on scrolling. When you’ve had your fill, you might want to check out our other recent posts about the ‘Overheard’ project here: ‘Overheard University,’ ‘Overheard New York,’ ‘Overheard London,’ and ‘Overheard LA.’
All’s well and fine when it comes to using dating apps to find romance, however, how you approach your relationship in the long term after you’ve met your match is, arguably, even more important. Bored Panda reached out to certified relationship and self-love coach Alex Scot to understand how to keep the spark of romance alive in our day-to-day lives. You’ll find the full interview below.

That's it. That must be it. I am officially taking it as a reason why I am still single. It has nothing to do with the fact that I am really shy and gay person who doesn't know anyone like me and stubbornly refuse to be part of online dating or how it's being called these days.

Relationship and self-love coach Alex told Bored Panda about all the small ways we can show our partners that we still care for them. It’s a wonderful thing to keep in mind for long-term relationships. We sometimes lose perspective and can forget to shower our partners with love during our daily routines. Fortunately, all is not lost!
Creating daily rituals and putting in the extra effort to make your partner’s day can have a massive impact on how both of you feel about the relationship, each other, and your future. The best part is that you don’t have to go big: romance can blossom even from the smallest acts.
#6
“A daily departure and returning ritual is always a great way to have a moment to connect,” Alex told Bored Panda that creating small rituals and traditions can help show your partner that you still care about them, deeply. “For example, an embrace, a kiss, packing a lunch, or whatever fits the couple’s needs and desires would be a lovely opportunity to reestablish the romance between partners.”
Relationship coach Alex opened up to Bored Panda about a small ritual that she still remembers very fondly to this very day. It’s definitely something that would stick in our minds as well. It’s something that we can all do today.
“One [ritual] I love that a partner has done for me is they left a love note on a sticky note on my computer for when I sat down to work in the early morning. It’s easy, simple, and put a huge smile on my face,” she said.

“Keep an open ear for when they say things like, ‘I wish I had…’ or, ‘Someday I’d love to…’ and make a note to self to get that item or plan that outing that they mentioned as soon as you can,” she told Bored Panda.

Alex pointed out that when we overhear our partners daydreaming about something, we shouldn’t wait for their birthday or a holiday to make them happy. “This shows you listen to their words and it will be a wonderful surprise that will create that spark and desire again,” she noted that we can all come closer to our partners when we actively listen to them and show this by coming up with small surprises.
Birthdays, Christmas, scooch on over, we’re aiming for random workdays now! You can’t schedule real romance, after all.

Seriously, dude. If you saw my interior you'd know the miserable truth.
It’s also vital to keep on dating even in long-term relationships. Relationship expert Alex advised Bored Panda that a good number to aim for is incorporating “at least one date night a week.” That’s on top of a daily good morning or good evening ritual. This helps “maintain connection, intimacy, and the feelings of emotional and physical safety within the relationship,” Alex said.
“I think, too often couples fall into a pattern of waiting for a birthday or holiday to celebrate each other and it isn’t enough for most.”

The ‘Overheard Bumble’ account has over 376k followers on Instagram and is on its way to joining the rest of the ‘Overheard’ pages in popularity. For instance, ‘Overheard LA’ has more than 1.6 million fans while ‘Overheard New York’ boasts a very impressive 1.5 million.
The man behind the ‘Overheard’ empire is Jesse Margolis who founded ‘Overheard LA’ way back in 2015. In the six years since, he’s made the project a well-known part of the internet. What’s more, he’s even started publishing a print-only witty and tongue-in-cheek newsletter called ‘The Overheard Post’ that he helps deliver. Printing newspapers is a bold decision in this day and age, so more power to Jesse.

Period synching is an illusion. Someone else made a great analogy: when you're waiting to turn behind a line of cars and they all have their indicators (blinkers) on, at some point they all synchronise just for a moment and then they all go out of synch again. That's how it works with periods too.

Jury is still out on this one. Most research on both sides has been anecdotal at best. Like many things involving women's health, the time and money hasn't been put into doing real studies. I lived in a dorm where all 18 women were within 3 days of each other for 7 straight months. Could be coincidence or could be significant but 1 sample of 18 out of 3.8 billion with no control or experimental design is meaningless.
