This episode, themed around Valentine's Day, focuses on modern dating experiences.

My guests are Amy and Ben, who share their personal dating stories and backgrounds.

Ben discusses his experiences using dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge, finding varying levels of success and challenges.

Amy talks about her experiences with Facebook dating and the importance of mutual friend connections for vetting potential matches.

Our conversation covers the pros and cons of dating apps, including challenges like catfishing and ghosting. I share my own experience of meeting my husband on MySpace, highlighting changes in dating over time.

We talk about the importance of communication, honesty, and mutual interests in successful relationships.

We also touch on the lack of local events for singles and the need for more social opportunities in the Tri-State area.

And we all agree on the value of friendships and not rushing into relationships, advocating for personal happiness and growth.

This episode is sponsored by Alex R. White, PLLC.
