A compassionate guide to the mentality of dating and how to find care, love and meaningful connections in the digital age.

Swiping, situationships, love bombing, ghosting, healing... Dating is hard. Why has making connections never felt so simple, yet keeping them has never been so complicated?

To understand why nearly half of us report having negative dating experiences, sex & dating journalist Rachel Thompson has spent the past decade - coinciding with the advent of dating apps - investigating how we seduce, perceive, and treat each other in this new era.

Written for all of us, but with particular care for marginalised communities - from queer people to people of colour, people with mental health conditions and more - this book shares revealing facts on-

why our odds of finding someone compatible are 1 in 562;

what 'the spark' being little more than a neurobiological response indicates;

how technology warps our communication, standards, and self-esteem.

why we are becoming more sensitive to rejection;

what real emotional availability looks like;

Weaving anecdotes from Rachel's 15 years of dating, with expert research and interviews with real people, mental health experts and sociologists, this book offers comforting insights and actionable reflections. The Love Fix is a rallying cry for radical intimacy and a key resource for protecting your wellbeing, asserting healthy boundaries and communicating your needs. It is a path towards real connection with both others and yourself - offering a new vision for love beyond the algorithm.
