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

We've all been there before: the person we're interested in is texting us yet they won't bite the bullet and make actual plans. For this week’s brunch talk, we're chatting about how to handle the situation when you want a partner, not a pen pal. We discuss why people continuously text when they have no intention of ever meeting up, how to be more direct about wanting plans, and ways to "break up" when you were never really dating in the first place.Got a question you need answered?

It's hard to make the call to end a relationship, situationship (or even engagement!) that isn't serving you but often the right decision is to move forward on your own. We’re chatting with Deepti about why she chose herself at the alter on Netflix's Love is Blind – and her self-love journey prior to and after the show. We discuss how to deal when you find out your partner isn't the person you thought they were, why respect is so pivotal for your own self-love, and why the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.Follow Deepti @lifewithdeeps and check out her book 'I Choose Myself': https://www.amazon.com/I-Choose-Myself-Deepti-Vempati/dp/B0BD2XPJHHFollow us @dateablepodcast.

When you start questioning everything from whether they’ll text back to if they even like you, it can make the best of us a big ball of nerves. But is it standard pre-date jitters or a sign something is wrong? We’re chatting with Ilana Dunn about how she went from being the most anxious of daters to feeling secure in her relationship. We discuss how modern dating can make us prone to anxiety, when to lean on your friends vs trust your own instincts, and how to use your past experiences (the good and the bad) to identify signs of a healthy relationship.Follow Ilana @ilana.dunn and @seeingotherpeople and listen to Seeing Other People wherever you listen to podcastsRegister now for our 22-day dating app challenge that is re-released just in time for cuffing season!
