Ask @WillaHBennett Anything

Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Willa Bennett is here for you, literally, answering your most pressing questions about love and relationships.

My partner and I have starkly different social media habits and it's affecting our relationship. Can we still make it work?
Yes. The two of you don't have to use social media in the same way, but you do need to understand how your behaviors impact each other. Calmly share your collective concerns and work to set up compromises and boundaries that feel healthy for the both of you.

Why does it feel impossible to move from online matches to real-life dates?
Texting on an app feels safer than risking rejection in person. I set a three to five messages rule. If there's chemistry after those conversations, I suggest a meeting. If the other person doesn't respond or won't make a plan, I know I've saved myself time in the long run.

How much should I care about what my partner posts (or doesn't post) about me?
