Episode notes

- Dating has always been hard, with common challenges like rejection and unrequited feelings.
- Current dating struggles are often blamed on apps, but these issues existed before dating apps.

- Shift from "relationship shopping" based on checklists to focusing on how you feel around a person.
- Consider the dynamic and connection rather than superficial traits.

- People often filter out potential partners they'd be interested in if they met in person.
