6. Reconnect by Disconnecting. Instead of spending time
alone in front of the television or on social media, make a date

not what you know, it is who you know. It’s simple. It’s math.
It’s smart. Life is all about connecting.

committing. Exclusivity is on the rise. Pairing Off is trending. These Meet Kristy... Meet David... Meet Jason...
