Best Relationships & Dating Subreddits
Relationship subs on Reddit roughly follow the life of a relationship. r/relationship_advice and r/relationships take questions about partners, family and friends, while the dating subs cover the earlier stage: first messages, first dates and the apps themselves.
Once things get serious, there are communities for long distance couples, wedding planning and married life. When it ends, breakup and loneliness subs offer a place to talk it through with strangers who have been there.
Some subs focus on a specific situation, such as dating after 30, single parenting or polyamory. These 15 cover the main stages.
