he's running the playbook on you, sweetheart. three days in and already saying "i love you" — that's not affection, that's a script.

!LOVE BOMBINGher quote
"i think you might be the one. like actually."
after two messages. he doesn't know you — he wants the next step before you can think about the last one.
!RUSHING INTIMACYher quote
"come over tonight. cancel your plans."
cancel your plans for him. always for him. you don't owe him your friday.
ACTUAL JOKESher quote
"my flatmate says i'm unhinged for texting you this much."
credit where it's due — that's funny. doesn't cancel the rest, though.

WHAT I'VE NOTICED · ABOUT YOU

maya,
can we talk?

i've been reading along for 9 weeks · 14 men. some things i can't unsee. don't be mad.
01.avg until exit14d
"you give them three chances. that's two too many."
the receipts → of the 5 men you walked from, you waited 14 days and 21 messages past the first red flag.
02.textbook texters64%
"you go for the ones who text first, fast, a lot."
the receipts → 9 of 14 matches sent first message within 30 min. you opened those 3× more often.
03.funny + flagged3/3
"when they make you laugh, you forgive too much."
the receipts → the matches you kept longest scored highest on humor AND highest on red flags.
SO HERE'S WHAT I'D ASK
next time someone's funny but pushing past your no — could we try walking on day three instead of day seventeen? for me?
and she clocks your patterns, not just theirs.
how she works

three steps. then she never forgets.

  1. you screenshot the chat

    tinder, hinge, bumble, imessage — whatever. drop the screenshots in and granny reads the whole conversation.

  2. granny reads it

    your conversation is sent securely to her reading brain in the cloud — once — and never used to train anything.

  3. she tells you straight

    a verdict, the red and green flags, what to say next — in her voice, remembering everything she knows about you.

her notebook stays with you. everything granny figures out about you lives on your phone — not our servers. one tap, “forget me,” wipes it all, our side included. read the privacy page →

the verdicts

three stamps. zero hedging.

WALK

“he says that to everyone. you deserve a text back before midnight.”

KEEPER

“this one actually shows up. don’t overthink it, sweetheart.”

WAIT

“too soon to tell. ask one real question, see if he can hold a thought.”

questions

before you ask.

is granny real advice?

she’s an opinionated coach with a point of view — not a licensed therapist or matchmaker. take her like advice from the sharpest woman at the table: seriously, but it’s yours to use.

what happens to my screenshots?

they’re sent securely to granny’s reading brain to pull out the text — once — and never used to train any model. the notes she keeps about you live on your phone, and “forget me” deletes everything, our servers included.

does she actually remember me?

yes — that’s the whole point. granny builds a picture of what you want, your patterns, and your icks, and it gets sharper every time you talk.

what does it cost, and when?

granny is coming to iPhone this summer. early-access folks get in first — leave your email and you’ll be the first to know.

who makes granny?

peeled banana — a tiny, independent software studio. that’s us.

ready for the truth?

granny’s coming to iPhone this summer. get in first.
