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

They say the past is in the past....but should it be? Sometimes reflecting back on our past relationships is exactly how we get to where we want to go. We're going deep with comedian Des Bishop about how his relationships with others (and the one with himself) got him to the place to be with now-wife and fellow comedian Hannah Berner. We discuss how our priorities ebb and flow throughout the years, why dating to "do life" with each other is a better approach, and the balance of being ready and luck when meeting the right person.Follow Des @desbishop, check out "The Des Bishop podcast", and learn more about Des at https://www.desbishop.net/Follow us @dateablepodcast.

But when you're on their new partners IG (3 years deep, for that matter) you know this isn't healthy. We discuss how to ween off social media (or at least your ex's feed), why you aren't getting the information you need anyways through this medium, and to channel this energy into YOU and what will be better for your present day state.

We get it...dating can be hard. Especially when you've ended things with the person you thought was 'The One' or went on another bad date. But we're here to spread some hope and optimism as we chat with Meredith about how she's been able to enjoy dating in her 30's and thrive being single after a brutal breakup. We discuss how detrimental breakups can be the catalyst for growth, how to actually enjoy the process of dating (even on the apps), and why personal growth is the most important gift you can give yourself.Trigger Warning: We discuss cheatingFollow Meredith at @meredithtxFollow us @dateablepodcast.

In our last week before Season 15, we're talking fboy island and how we've changed our perspective on dating (from our episodes, silly, not fboy island!). We go back in memory lane through the many seasons talking about why you can't find 'The One', why maybe your type isn't your type, and how to persevere through it all on your quest for love.
