Queer dating coach Ariella Serur is on a mission to disrupt traditional dating advice. Why? Because online dating should be exciting, not exhausting. In addition to being a dating coach, Ariella is currently receiving a Graduate Advanced Certificate from Columbia University’s School of Psychology in Sexuality, Women, and Gender with a concentration in LGBTQ Issues. Today, she’s here to talk about how queer daters can courageously navigate the dating landscape without feeling overwhelmed.
