Autocorrected Emotions: I Let Predictive Text Live My Dating Life for a Week

Liv lets her phone play matchmaker — or arsonist — for a week by replying to every dating app message, DM, and text using only her phone's predictive text. The result is a ten-day saga of accidental confessions, fake-cutesy nicknames, an unintended marriage proposal, and one very confused barista. In this monologue, Liv narrates the week as if reading someone else’s cringe diary: a ridiculous opening claim, a messy confession about giving up control, a hot take on why we outsource vulnerability, and a chaotic blowup that reveals the ridiculousness of modern courtship. It’s ten minutes of best-friend commentary: equal parts facepalm, therapy, and gleeful gossip. Listeners get to laugh, wince, and feel seen—because we’ve all sent that message we immediately regretted. Packed with sharp observations, self-roast, and practical takeaways about boundaries in the age of convenience, this episode is the perfect stress-relief for anyone exhausted by dating drama.
