Note from the author

Welcome to Dating Frustrating! This is where I share my advice on dating and relationships. I consider myself a writer, not a dating coach, and definitely not a guru. Since I was a teenager, I was more interested in dating than my peers. After struggling a lot in my early youth, I began to find success in my early twenties. I’m now 34, a lot more experienced, and I hope to impart some of my hard-earned knowledge so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. I first began giving advice on the subreddit r/dating_advice under the pen name NorwegianDoggo. Here, I eventually became part of the top 1% most upvoted authors. I wanted to make this website get nerdy and detailed with it, which Reddit’s formatting doesn’t allow. In the past few years, I’ve also worked as a professional dating profile photographer. I hold a Bachelor’s in Social Sciences, with a concentration in Psychology, and some other irrelevant degrees. I’m a lifelong learner, which is a self-promoting way of saying that I make many mistakes. I hope you enjoy my content!
