When you start questioning everything from whether they’ll text back to if they even like you, it can make the best of us a big ball of nerves. But is it standard pre-date jitters or a sign something is wrong? We’re chatting with Ilana Dunn about how she went from being the most anxious of daters to feeling secure in her relationship. We discuss how modern dating can make us prone to anxiety, when to lean on your friends vs trust your own instincts, and how to use your past experiences (the good and the bad) to identify signs of a healthy relationship.Follow Ilana @ilana.dunn and @seeingotherpeople and listen to Seeing Other People wherever you listen to podcastsRegister now for our 22-day dating app challenge that is re-released just in time for cuffing season!

So you meet someone new, and the texting is spicing up...should you or shouldn't you send that sexy pic? And what happens when you get a sexy pic that doesn't turn out to be so sexy? We're chatting this week on brunch talk about how to approach this topic in a way that will turn someone on...not off.

We're diving head first into all the red flags, dealbreakers, and straight-up annoyances while dating — and determining when to be curious vs. run. We're chatting with Janice about how she missed some serious red flags in her last relationship and how she's approaching dating now. We discuss the true definition of a red flag and how it's often misused, how to handle any signs of an unhealthy relationship, and why it's important to look for green flags instead of going on a red flag hunt while dating.Register now for our 22-day dating app challenge that is re-released just in time for cuffing season!

We're constantly looking for new people to date but what about that person where the timing wasn't quite right or the connection never quite blossomed. We're chatting with Vince and Yurika from Amazon Prime's 'The One That Got Away' about what it's like to have a second chance with someone from your past.

So you're sick of being ghosted, breadcrumbed, roached, or whatever is the term for the latest bad dating behavior? But what happens when you realize you're doing the exact same thing you hate to others? We're chatting with Sonica about how she feels dating culture has caused her to succumb to the lowest common denominator by normalizing bad dating behaviors. We discuss how frustrating it can be to feel like you're trying in a world where everyone else isn't, why dating app culture has changed how we treat one another, and how you can rise up to meet people that match your energy instead of sinking to the bottom.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

They say the past is in the past....but should it be? Sometimes reflecting back on our past relationships is exactly how we get to where we want to go. We're going deep with comedian Des Bishop about how his relationships with others (and the one with himself) got him to the place to be with now-wife and fellow comedian Hannah Berner. We discuss how our priorities ebb and flow throughout the years, why dating to "do life" with each other is a better approach, and the balance of being ready and luck when meeting the right person.Follow Des @desbishop, check out "The Des Bishop podcast", and learn more about Des at https://www.desbishop.net/Follow us @dateablepodcast.

But we're here to spread some hope and optimism as we chat with Meredith about how she's been able to enjoy dating in her 30's and thrive being single after a brutal breakup.
