The Tiny House Lover's Guide to Romance

Living and loving in a super small space requires ... unique compromises.

Last month, the launch of Tiny House Dating, a website focused on uniting tiny house enthusiasts, got so much attention its servers quickly crashed. Of course we already knew about the growing tiny house movement (in April, the first-ever “Tiny House Conference” held sold-out panels and workshops on how to go about building the minimalist dwellings), but suddenly, there was a new data point: a not insignificant number of people are currently looking for love while living (or at least, hoping to live) in a tiny, tiny home.

Imagine what that might mean when it's time to bring a date back to your place for the first time. Or even worse, moving in together. Will you remain devoted to your extra-small space when you decide to get a dog? Have kids? And so on.
