EXCLUSIVE Author Christina 'Tinx' Najjar weighs in on popular dating advice... including WORST tips she has ever received
Over the past few years, Tinx has become known as 'the internet's big sister,' as she doles out sex, relationship, friendship, and even career advice on her platform.
She invented what's called the 'box theory,' a concept about men putting a woman into one of three boxes if they're romantically interested in her, and wrote all about it in her first New York Times bestselling novel, The Shift.
Now, the SiriusXM radio show host has published her second book and a fiction one at that - Hotter in the Hamptons, about an influencer who gets canceled and escapes to the Long Island enclave for a hot, steamy, summer romance with another woman - who just happens to be the journalist who 'canceled' her.
It's a place she's familiar with, too, as she has spent a few recent summers in the area.
The new book is spicy and sexy, and Tinx certainly does not hold back any of the sultry details, as she wants the book to help people get in touch with their sexuality, whether they are single or not.
It also explores modern-day dating, something that Tinx talks about often on her various platforms.
In a new interview with DailyMail.com, the internet personality revealed one of the most important things that she believes people should know about dating, and that's not to take anything personally.
'There is so much bad behavior. There's so much ghosting, bad manners,' Tinx told DailyMail.com exclusively.
'You cannot take it personally, otherwise you will be miserable,' she continued.
Instead, Tinx recommends taking things lightly and easily when it comes to dating.
'You'll know when someone great comes along, but until then, don't stress yourself out,' the influencer offered.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind when hitting the town, Tinx said.
'One phrase that I don't think is very helpful is, "If he wanted to, he would,"' she admitted to DailyMail.com.
'I think it's true, but I think it's a very negative way to think about it,' Tinx continued, as she explained that she wants her community to change their thinking around the phrase.
Instead, she suggests making the phrase more positive, and about the fact that you deserve someone who treats you well without you having to beg for their attention.
That's not the worst dating advice she's gotten before, though.
She explained that she is not a fan of playing any games when it comes to her dating life.
'I think that anything that's to do with manipulating guys or... I don't like game playing. I think game playing is really immature. And I think you only hurt yourself,' she explained.
'You never want to, like, trap someone into dating you,' Tinx shared. 'They're obviously not your person, if you have to do that.'
This summer, Tinx says that she wants 'everyone to be horny by the pool' as they delve into her new novel.
'I think that erotica, smut, whatever you want to classify it as, is a fun way for people to get in touch with their own sexuality and expand their minds and expand their creativity,' she told DailyMail.com.
The book has also been adapted into a TV series by powerhouse twins Erin and Sara Foster.
As for the cast? Tinx has some ideas, but she doesn't want to jinx anything.

Joey Lawrence reveals how he won back wife Samantha Cope after her divorce filing and THOSE affair rumors
Joey Lawrence shed light into his reconciliation with his wife Samantha Cope, five months after she filed for divorce in 2024. When asked about his decision to repair his marriage, the Melissa and Joey star, 49, urged others not to 'give up' without a fight. 'I think it's too easy,' he explained of why they got back together. 'As much you don't want to take an easy way out, or you think this will be the fix—it's not always the case. I just didn't want to do that. And she didn't either.' Ultimately, he said they both came to the realization: 'Wait a minute. There's something so special here.' 'Things take a lot of work and a lot of dedication and reworking and retooling,' the father-of-three continued. 'That's life, though.' Lawrence went on to stress: 'That's life, though. As brothers, with your parents, with friends, in business, that's it. Everything takes so much work. Whatever it is, just don't give up, because you never know.' Last August, it was revealed that Cope had filed for divorce from Lawrence. She requested that both she and her estranged husband not receive any spousal support. She cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split, and also asked for full custody of their daughter. Cope stated in documents obtained by Us Weekly that she will allow Dylan to stay with Joey two nights a week when she turns three. But in regards to Joey having extended visits with their daughter, Samantha stated that she wants to wait until Dylan is 'older and can consent to such visits.' Not long after she filed, Lawrence was accused of having an affair with his co-star and fellow actress, Melina Alves. The pair are set to appear in the upcoming film, Socked In For Christmas. In documents obtained by TMZ, Melina's estranged husband, Edward Rider - who filed for divorce in July - claimed that he discovered Alves and Lawrence were having an affair earlier this year in March. The affair allegedly took place in California as well as 'at various other times and places,' Rider claimed. At the time, a source told People that Lawrence 'love-bombed' Alves - which was something that he also did with Cope. 'Joey met Melina Alves on the set of their movie, where she was a producer,' the insider explained. Melina is also the writer and took on the role of Addy in the upcoming holiday flick,' the insider claimed. They also alleged he 'continued to date Melina even after Samantha found out about it and confronted him.' The source also expressed that Cope had wanted to attend marriage counseling, but Joey 'fooled their counselor' and would still 'get ready for dates with Melina while Sam watched, bawling her eyes out.' Cope and Lawrence first crossed paths in 2020 while on set of the Lifetime movie titled, My Husband's Secret Brother. The former couple became engaged in 2021, and said 'I do' the following year in 2022 during a ceremony held at the Temecula Creek Inn in California. At the time, Cope told People that her courtship with Lawrence was speedy: 'From day one, it was such a safe place to be myself. Two weeks in, I was like, "I will be with you forever."' She added, 'When you meet the right person, if you're lucky enough, it cuts to the chase so quick. I have somebody who is like-minded and has the same love language, and we communicate the same way. That's super important. And I am so thankful.' In January 2023, the couple welcomed their daughter, Dylan Rose, to the world. The Blossom actor was also previously married to Michelle Vella from 2002 through 2005. He later tied the knot with Chandie Yawn-Nelson in 2005 but the pair's divorce was finalized in 2022. They share daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14.
