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

We're diving head first into all the red flags, dealbreakers, and straight-up annoyances while dating — and determining when to be curious vs. run. We're chatting with Janice about how she missed some serious red flags in her last relationship and how she's approaching dating now. We discuss the true definition of a red flag and how it's often misused, how to handle any signs of an unhealthy relationship, and why it's important to look for green flags instead of going on a red flag hunt while dating.Register now for our 22-day dating app challenge that is re-released just in time for cuffing season!

There's certainly no denying the progress we've made in this post #metoo world, but has the sexual revolution and feminist movement actually helped us have better sex and relationships? We're chatting with Washington Post columnist and author Christine Emba about rethinking sex and what it means for all of us. We discuss why consent is not enough, the reasons being liberated are making dating culture miserable, and how we can rethink the gold standard of equality.Follow Christine @christineemba and get your copy of 'Rethinking Sex' today!Follow us @dateablepodcast.

So you're seeing someone new and either you or them are not quite ready to do the deed. But how do you know if you'll have chemistry? Or are sexually compatible? On this week's brunch talk we discuss how to navigate when one partner is ready and the other isn't, how to get more comfortable having sex with someone new, and ways that you can explore your sexuality together without having penetrative sex.Got a question you need answered?

We're constantly looking for new people to date but what about that person where the timing wasn't quite right or the connection never quite blossomed. We're chatting with Vince and Yurika from Amazon Prime's 'The One That Got Away' about what it's like to have a second chance with someone from your past. We discuss when rekindling is a good idea or not, the benefits of familiarity that we don't get with the apps, and how you can open yourself up to more of these reconnections.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

So you're sick of being ghosted, breadcrumbed, roached, or whatever is the term for the latest bad dating behavior? But what happens when you realize you're doing the exact same thing you hate to others? We're chatting with Sonica about how she feels dating culture has caused her to succumb to the lowest common denominator by normalizing bad dating behaviors. We discuss how frustrating it can be to feel like you're trying in a world where everyone else isn't, why dating app culture has changed how we treat one another, and how you can rise up to meet people that match your energy instead of sinking to the bottom.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

We are often gravitated to people who different than us but how different is too different? When can we learn from each other's differences vs. when do they get in the way? On this week's brunch talk we discuss the key to navigating differences in a partnership, the nuances of what differences matter and which don't, and how you can thrive in your relationship even when your partner doesn't think or do exactly like you.Got a question you need answered?
