Welcome back!! This episode is in 2 parts.

You guys asked the questions (via insta story) and WE ANSWERED!

In this episode, I chat to Katie McNamara from Single Sounds Podcast for a candid chat about modern dating. We explore everything from approaching people in real life to dealing with ghosting and maintaining healthy relationships. We share our own experiences and practical advice - this episode will help you navigate the dating world with confidence and help you feel less alone in the sometimes chaotic world of modern dating!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Approaching people in real life: Be bold and remember you have nothing to lose. If you get rejected, it's not necessarily about you.
• Multi-dating can help reduce dating burnout and provide perspective on potential matches.
• How do you deal with being the only single friend in a friendship group?
• How to deal with the fear of being ghosted?
• What to do when your boyfriend's best friend makes no effort with you?
• How do you know when you've found "the spark" on a date?
• What to do when the person you are dating says they aren't ready for a serious relationship but will "get back to you" in a few months?
• Healthy relationships involve maintaining individual identities, consistent behaviour, and open communication.
• The "spark" is often misunderstood. A good connection should feel like getting into a warm bath - safe and comfortable!
• Give potential partners a chance beyond the first date, as nerves or circumstances may affect initial impressions.
• Understanding attachment styles can provide insight into dating behaviours and help build more secure relationships.
• Balancing time between friends and romantic partners is crucial for maintaining a healthy social life and relationship.

QUOTES FROM ME:

"I always knew that he was gonna tell me what the date would be the next week. When you do meet the right person that's as keen on you as you are them, you actually are never questioning if they're going to ghost you."

"I romanticise my solo time a lot. You have to do that. “

"Butterflies are horrible. I really hope I never ever have to feel like that ever again. It's the one of the worst feelings I think when you're dating. I think that's worse than being ghosted."
