EP 32: Why Dating Feels So Hard And What To Do About It With Sam Whitney
Why is dating today so exhausting these days? In this episode, I’m joined by Sam Whitney, author of How to Date Authentically, to unpack what’s really going on in the modern dating world.
From the rise of self-focused dating to the pressure of performance and perfection, we explore why nearly half of Americans say dating feels harder now than it did ten years ago. Sam shares his take on how our expectations, our "nope lists," and even our fear of being embarrassed by a partner are shaping the way we approach love — and often keeping us from the very thing we want most.
If you’re tired of the dating games and craving something real, this conversation is a breath of fresh air.
