People of all ages and backgrounds are using dating apps for all sorts of reasons: long-term relationships, hook-ups, friend-finding, polyamory, one night stands, short-term relationships, and even just curiosity. There are as many different expectations of the apps as there are people, and it's making it harder on everybody.

Swiped Out is a long overdue user manual that attempts to add some insight, clarity, and a little humor to get us all on the same page. Dating and relationships are hard enough as we try to read the cues and guess what potential mates are thinking. But when we're placed behind a faceless and soulless digital wall, it's almost impossible.

This book suggests ways to get the most out of the dating apps, how to temper expectations, and most importantly, reminds us all to have some grace for one another as we all navigate this landscape that is all-too-new for many users.

The book will be available on Amazon by March 19th, 2026.
