Modern Dating Is Messy. This Course Makes It Make Sense.

“Swipe culture. Ghosting. Mixed signals. This isn’t your parents’ dating world. Learn how to navigate it your way — with confidence.”

My Story

Hi, I’m Professor S — a college professor, researcher, and real-talk advocate when it comes to love, sex, and dating. I teach one of the most popular courses at The University of Florida -- What's Love got to do with It?

 

We explore everything from the psychology of attraction to the science of long-term relationships. My work bridges research with the real world— because let’s face it, navigating modern relationships is messy, and TikTok advice only gets you so far.

 

I created this course because I kept hearing the same thing from students: "No one ever taught us how to do this—how to date, how to communicate, how to know what we really want."

 

So, I decided to change that. This course is grounded in real data, honest conversation, and a deep respect for your lived experience. Whether you're figuring out what love means to you, recovering from a breakup, or just tired of situationships—you're in the right place.

 

Let’s decode love, one lesson at a time.

Students Say...

Professor S teaches with  so much passion and clarity that it was easy and enjoyable to understand every lecture. They were also interactive! Professor S also created a very comfortable, open–minded environment where everyone felt comfortable. Overall she is one of the best instructors I've ever had and this course 100% changed my approach to love, dating, and sex.

Genuinely, nearly everything I learned in this class will have application in my life. Not only did we learn the sociology, psychology, and history of love but we learned so much about ourselves through the readings, lectures, and discussions. I do not think I have taken a course that will have MORE application in my daily life moving forward.

Professor S was an amazing instructor and made this course the one I looked forward to every week. Professor S explained all of the content with clarity, passion, and most importantly, non–judgmentally. She made her class so engaging and fun. This has been a life-changing course!
