About Me: The Bitch Behind The Blog
Anonymous Writer. Relationship “Expert.” Creative Soul.
Hey there! I’m Katie, also known as the “dating b” and I’m so glad to have you here on my site. On this page, you can learn more about me and this blog. First things first, let’s start with some of the basics.
Who Am I?
A single woman in my 30’s with a passion for writing and doling out relationship advice. 💃
Based on my professional life, I’ve chosen to write this blog anonymously.
Am I a Relationship Expert?
Actually, no 🤷♀️
BUT, I do have a background in Psychology and Counseling, I’m an avid reader of self help and relationship books, and I listen to dating podcasts religiously.
I’ve also had PLENTY of first hand experience with love, relationships, and, inevitably, heartbreak. ❤
What Are Some of My Experiences?
• Dating as a single mother
• Being in (and leaving) an abusive relationship*
• Dealing with a long-distance romance
• Getting Married
• Getting Divorced
• Navigating post-divorce relationships and online dating
• Making a TON of mistakes along the way
*NOTE: If you are currently in an abusive relationship, please know that there are resources available to help.
You can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or find them on their website here.
Fun Facts About Me
• I am an experienced Tarot Reader 🔮
• My Myers Briggs Personality type is INFP – the mediator
• My sun sign is Sagittarius 🏹
• I’m one of those annoying people who is “spiritual” rather than religious
• I love writing and write fiction and eBooks along with this blog 📚
• I’m a huge fan of sitcoms
About the Blog
I started The Dating Bitch in December of 2020 – I had a lot of free time on my hands thanks to the pandemic and, for my own well-being, I needed a creative outlet to fill my days.
Enter, blogging.
As a fairly impulsive person, I didn’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about starting a blog – instead, something (I forget what, now) sparked the idea in me and the very next day I’d joined a free blogging platform. By March of 2021, then, I decided I actually enjoyed doing it enough to make the switch to a self-hosted domain, which is where you’ve stumbled across my work right now!
Initially, I started as a niche blogger, focusing all of my content on dating, relationships, and breakups. In the Summer of 2021, though, I expanded to include more lifestyle-related topics.
Though I’m still learning (and my tech skills are sorely lacking), I hope you find this blog enjoyable. If you do, I’d love it if you subscribed!
