Episode notes

When it comes to dating, it's important to be authentic and own your narrative. If you have concerns about being judged or not being liked for certain aspects of your life, it's better to lead with those aspects and let the other person decide if they are compatible with you. Sharing your experiences, whether they involve a difficult past, chronic illness, or family issues, can help you connect on a deeper level. By being open and unapologetic about who you are, you make the other person feel safe and create the possibility for a meaningful connection.

How the hell do grown ups date and make friends? Behavioral scientist turned dating coach, Logan Ury is here to help us make dating and meeting new friends easier: how to identify what you really want; why we should stop searching for “the spark”; why we keep going after the same people that are wrong for us; how to talk to our kids about their first love experiences; why we need to have “other significant others”; and the eight questions you should ask yourself after meeting anyone new.
