If You’re Dating a Designer: A Very Real Look at Designer Life

(just so you’re prepared)

They’ll obsess over fonts.

They’ll comment on spacing.

They’ll notice things you don’t.

They’ll want two versions of everything.

Then A/B test them (in their head again).

They’ll pause movies to critique title cards.

They’ll ask “who designed this?” constantly.

They sense friction before users can name it.

They’ll re-open things you thought were done.

Too much contrast feels loud; too little feels wrong.

They feel something is off before they can explain why.

They can’t enjoy site because design is inconsistent.

“It’s just… not aligned” is a complete sentence.

They notice hesitation before analytics do.

They notice when margins change by 1px.

Uneven spacing physically bothers them.

They experience misalignment as stress.

They’ll want to tweak things “just a bit.”

They’ll judge menus before ordering.

They spot visual debt instantly.

They’ll see flaws everywhere.

They’ll struggle to turn it off.

Nothing will ever be “done.”

Everything can be “better.”

This is designer life — noticing friction, feeling misalignment, and never fully turning it off.
