Harry Holt

Dating Writer

Harry Holt writes about modern dating the way it actually happens — on apps, over text, in the gap between a good match and an actual plan. He's blunt where other writers hedge, and he'd rather tell you the awkward truth about ghosting than sell you a fantasy about it.

His work covers the newer end of the dating world: profiles that get replies, the etiquette nobody agreed on, and how to keep your footing when the rules keep changing. Practical, a little irreverent, and written for people who are dating right now, not in theory.
