About this episode

If dating apps have left you feeling drained, you’re not alone. Nearly half of U.S. adults say dating is harder now than it was a decade ago, and for good reason: ghosting, endless swiping, and dead-end chats can make anyone feel cynical.


Even though it may not feel like it, more than half of us still meet our future partner the old-fashioned way: crossing paths in everyday life. In this week’s episode, you’ll learn five easy and actionable ways to meet people offline. Whether you want to expand your world, get some effective conversation-starters, or simply exchange contact information without it feeling awkward, these simple shifts could change everything . . . just like they did for me.
