Dateable: Your insider's look into modern dating and relationships

When another date or budding relationship doesn't work out, it can feel like a sucker-punch in the stomach. You start to question what you're doing wrong and if you're destined to be alone forever. Trust us, we get it and we've been here ourselves too. On this week's Best of Brunch talk we're talking about what rejection really means, why it keeps happening, and how this can actually be a great thing if you choose to see it that way.Got a question you need answered?

Do they like you? Or not? We're bringing back one of our most listened to #brunchtalks to dissect the age old question of how to tell if someone likes you, especially in times when it's not entirely clear. We'll discuss how to navigate situations where there are mixed signals, why you can have that fabulous first date (make-out sesh included) and never hear back from the person again, and the #1 thing you should be asking yourself when you are dating.Got a question you need answered?

We're bringing back our most popular episode ever with Dr. Paul Eastwick about his work at the UC Davis Attraction Lab of how people form and maintain relationships.

Would you rather stay in a mediocre relationship than to start over and be single? The thought of dating "from scratch" can be daunting but does it really justify staying in a relationship not meeting your needs? We're re-airing one of our most popular brunch talks, where we explore whether to try to make your current relationship better or cut bait – and how to reframe your mindset about what "starting over" even means.Got a question you need answered?

Are you sick of the ghosting, bread crumbing, flaking, zombie-ing, and the myriad of other bad dating behavior? Yup, us too. Yue is discussing her theory on why it seems to keep getting worse every year, but more importantly how we can all squash this type of behavior and head into a dating utopia.

Have you ever wanted to get into the mind of men who act like they're interested only until you have sex? We're bringing up a spicy one from the archives of our most controversial guest to-date, Leon (if you're an OG listener, you probably remember this one!) who is here to deliver a PSA to women as a reformed f*ckboy who is now married and settled down. We're giving this a reboot to reflect on this current day, now that we've processed this "PSA" with updated takeaways to remind us that all guys aren't like this and how to not let the bad eggs get in the way of finding love. And for the good guys out there: this may give more understanding to experiences women may have with not so great men. Trigger Warning: This episode shows a manipulative side of men which may be triggering if you've experienced this type of behavior yourself.
