    Lili Reinhart asks: can friends survive unrequited love?

    ICYMI, the one and only Lili Reinhart is the cover star of the August/September issue of our print magazine, and our question-asker for this week’s episode! The actor — and star of upcoming movie The Love Hypothesis, adapted from Ali Hazelwood’s bestselling novel — wants to know: can a friendship survive if one person develops unrequited feelings for the other? We all love a friends to lovers story — from classics like When Harry Met Sally to new faves like Bridgerton, falling in love with a friend has long been sold to us as the ultimate romantic fantasy. And, let’s be real, against our digital dating backdrop, falling for a mate has never sounded more appealing. But what happens if the friend you’re crushing on doesn’t feel the same way? Cue toe-curling awkwardness and, in some cases, the end of a cherished friendship. This week, Millie and Clare delve into this dilemma, asking: can you stay friends with someone if you secretly want more? And what’s worse: keeping the secret or confessing how you really feel? Let us know what you think in the comments here and on our socials @CosmopolitanUK. Have you ever been in this situation? Do you agree with Millie and Clare? And let us know what you want Millie and Clare to tackle next!

    Why aren’t men making effort in dating RN?

    We all know that dating is in the pits RN — we’re burned out from the apps, frustrated by convos that go nowhere, and tired of bad first dates. Too often, it feels like we’re giving a lot and getting, well, not much back.  Lately, this feels especially true for those of us who date men. You’ve only got to look at this season of Love Island to see the serious lack of effort the boys are putting into — in villa terms — grafting the girls, and we’re seeing this IRL too. From lazy dates and slow replies to a serious dearth of question-asking, we’re enduring an epidemic of low-effort men. Ringing true for you? This week, Millie and Clare are asking why men seem to be making such little effort in dating right now. Is it really gendered, or just a general modern dating thing? And, either way, what the hell can we do about it? Comment on the episode or on our socials @CosmopolitanUK with your opinions. Plus, got another topic you’d like Millie and Clare to dive into? Let us know… we’re providing a public service here, people!
