Hi, we’re Sam and Kate

Two friends who kept giving each other great dating advice.

One day we were like: 

We should give this to everyone. 

And FDA was born. 🖤

Free Dating Advice is exactly what it sounds like

Whether you’re looking for constructive feedback on your dating app profile, a gut check on your dating drama, or to chat about it all, we’re here for you. You can have a casual conversation about your love life, no matter what state it’s in. 

Visitors take a seat, skip the small talk, and walk away with insightful, empathetic, objective opinions—on the house.

We have an unconventional approach and a terrible business model. We’re not matchmakers, not dating coaches, not therapists, and our patrons don’t pay. But we’re determined to keep doing what we love: FDA.
