## Resource

In this Gay Bit, Zach abandons his usual campy monologue format for something more personal and off-the-cuff — a real-time breakdown of his friend's three-guy dating rotation, paired with reflections on nearly three decades with his husband. The throughline is a pointed argument against the "unwritten rules" of modern dating (texting schedules, waiting periods, playing it cool), which Zach argues do more harm than good. He closes with a case for confidence, self-acceptance, and trusting your gut over any dating playbook.
