A Cheers to Seema, And Just Like That's Certifiable Diva
In the first episode this season, we meet Seema again as she is trying to keep the romance alive with her boyfriend Ravi, who is off in Egypt making a film. (A Marvel movie director? Love that for her.) She decks herself out in full-on lingerie for their Zoom date, only for Ravi's assistant to keep her waiting for hours, to no avail. (Hate that for her.) She then falls sleep with a lit cigarette, lighting her bed (and some of her hair) on fire. Dramatic? Yes, but she essentially represents all the hoops many of us jump through for undeserving men. My queen, we see you and empathize with you!
When Ravi finally gets into town, he then promises to take Seema out to lunch at Jean-Georges to make up for it—only to bring her along on a location-scouting trip that eats up their entire day. Fed up, she proceeds to swiftly dump him (in a fabulous white fringed dress, no less). As she should. She deserved that bougie martini lunch! We love to see a diva who knows her worth. If AJLT fans are still mourning the loss of the über-confident Samantha, Seema is here to fill that void: She is not to be messed with.

Is Instagram the New Celebrity Dating App?
As the official start to summer approaches, many singles are on the hunt for a romantic partner to spend the season with. Some may be on the prowl at parties or swiping through dating apps, others may be shooting their shot on Instagram. For celebrities in particular, Instagram has become an unexpectedly successful matchmaker, with a growing number of high-profile couples crediting their love stories to private messages sent on the app. In December 2022, the country singer Kelsea Ballerini sent a direct message on Instagram to the actor Chase Stokes at 1:07 a.m.: 'hiii chase stokes.' A little over two hours later, the actor responded, 'Hey there how u doin.' They've been in a relationship for more than two years. Kyle Kuzma, the stylish N.B.A. player, sent the model Winnie Harlow a message on Instagram in 2019 and reached out again in spring 2020. She hadn't seen his first message, but she saw the second and replied. In December, they became engaged. The actress Vanessa Hudgens sent a message to Cole Tucker, a former baseball player, after spotting him in a virtual meditation session led by Jay Shetty. 'I get on the Zoom, and I'm like, 'Who is that?'' she shared on 'The Drew Barrymore Show.' 'If I want something or someone, I'm going after them. I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, 'Hey, it was nice to meet you.'' They married in November 2023. Natalie Joy DM'd the former 'Bachelor' Nick Viall in September 2019, after one of Mr. Viall's Instagram photos popped up on Ms. Joy's Explore page: 'You're unreal,' she wrote. In April 2024, they married. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Why you're catching the ‘ick' so easily, according to science
If you are frequently getting the ick from potential romantic partners, it might not be them. The problem might be you. A new study has found that if you possess certain personality traits, you might be more susceptible to the dreaded ick than others. Researchers Brian Collisson, Eliana Saunders, and Chloe Yin from Azusa Pacific University in Southern California found that those who are prone to disgust, hold others to high standards, or score higher in narcissism are most at risk. Even if you're unsure what we're talking about, you've likely experienced it. A now ubiquitous term in dating, the ick is used to describe the feeling of disgust that arises toward a love interest. They stumble on the side of the curb? Ick. There are remnants of red sauce around their mouth? Instant ick. Although the concept itself is not new (the ick was first coined in the 1990s TV show Ally McBeal), the term has more recently found a new lease on life online, with more than 120 million related posts on TikTok. 'Personally, I became interested in learning more about the ick when I heard that a friend of mine kept a running list on her phone notes app of every ick she'd ever experienced from a guy (it was several pages long),' Saunders, a graduate student at Azusa Pacific and the study's lead author, told Psypost. For the study, researchers asked 74 men and 51 women, ranging in age from 24 to 72, if they knew what getting the ick meant and whether they had ever experienced it. The study then measured the likelihood of participants experiencing the ick in response to specific behaviors. Participants also completed personality tests and answered questions about their dating lives. The findings are clear: Certain personality traits make participants more vulnerable to the ick. These include higher disgust sensitivity, which increases the intensity of reactions to triggers rather than the frequency of the ick occurring. Narcissism is also linked to the likelihood, though not the frequency, of experiencing the ick. Those who tend to place high expectations on others are triggered by a wider range of behaviors. Women are more likely than men to recognize the ick, though both men and women experience a similar average number of ick moments. For women, misogynistic behavior or annoying speech are immediate turnoffs. For men, it's vanity or 'overly trendy' behavior. While the ick often acts as a bucket of ice-cold water on a blossoming romance (about a quarter of participants reported ending a relationship immediately upon experiencing the ick), Saunders said people should look inward before making any hasty decisions. 'Before dumping a partner because their feet dangle when they sit in a chair, we should think critically about why we're feeling 'icked' out,' Saunders told Psypost
