260. The BEST dating advice for your 20s...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

When it comes to dating in our 20s, the entire experience seems like a bit of a maze and often leaves us questioning, is there a RIGHT way to be dating in our 20s? Should I be playing it casual, and just having fun, prioritise being single and getting to know myself, only dating people we want to marry, be looking for long term compatability? And what if you know exactly what you want, but are unsure how to get it? 

Today, I have on the hosts of Dateable to answer your biggest dating questions and conundrums and provide their advice from over two decades of learnings and knowledge, including: 

  • How to tell if someone is right for you
  • How to not rush into love 
  • How to detach from the outcome of a first date 
  • How to know what you want and how to get it 
  • How to handle a good, not great relationship 
  • How to rebound from a breakup + more
