I’m Gina Cherelus, a reporter on the Styles desk of The New York Times, where I cover dating, sex and relationships in a column called Third Wheel.

I’ve reported on a wide range of romance stories: what dating is like for podcast bros and personal trainers, avid readers and social runners, people with lots of followers and people on the picket line.

I’ve covered dating apps, including why young people can’t commit to them and why some women were taking summer off from them.

I’ve written about niche communities, such as those who identify as solo poly.

And dating trends: loyalty tests, fake S.T.I. tests, even something called the orange peel test.

Basically, I explore the varied and sometimes mischievous ways people are navigating romance, singlehood, relationships and breakups. And I’d love to hear from you about the crazy, romantic, shocking or unconventional dating experiences that you or someone you know may have had.

Have you ever been ghosted by a date? Do you see the silver lining in situationships? Has your experience in a throuple been wildly successful (or perhaps a total catastrophe)? Do you have any unusual insights about dating over the age of 65? Do you use a matchmaker? Any tales about dating while disabled? I’m not looking for wedding announcements or features (do consider submitting your story to Vows for that). I’m also not especially interested in publicity requests. I’m really searching for personal anecdotes and dating trends.

I read all submissions, occasionally write articles inspired by them and always reach back out to ask more questions. We don’t accept anonymous responses and I will never publish anything without your explicit permission. I also will not use your contact information for any other purpose or share it outside our newsroom. Please feel free to share this with a friend. Thanks!
