Date/able Podcast

How much do you need to share about yourself, your upbringing, or your past relationships in the early stages of dating? In this week’s brunch talk we’re chatting about the line between oversharing and not sharing enough, how you can spin conversations you’d rather veer away from, and why the last thing you want to do is trauma dump on a first date.Got a question you need answered?

How well does ChatGPT work for dating app convos? Is it ethical? We're diving in to discuss (and find out!) in this week's brunch talk. We’re discussing how you'd even use AI (artificial intelligence) from the opening line to the whole conversation, how this compares to a bot or hiring a human to have conversations on your behalf, and the line between using this technology in an authentic and inauthentic way. Plus, we test out ChatGPT in real-time and give you a verdict if this is a helpful tool or not (in the context of dating app convos). Buckle up as this is a fun one!Got a question you need answered?

So you met someone who seems fantastic and everything has been moving along well...except that you don't talk much between dates. Should you be communicating more? Or is just setting up the next date sufficient in the early stages? In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing how different people operate with texting/calling/video chats, etc, ways you can up your text game to build connection, and how to bring up the fact that you'd like to talk more.Got a question you need answered?

We all have a story about ourselves that explains why our love lives aren't falling into place...but are they even true? We're chatting with Ben about how his lack of dating and sexual experience has caused him to identify as undateable – and how he's letting his past get in the way of his future. We discuss why we struggle to see ourselves the way others often do, how to let go of the past so it doesn't take over your present, and ways to date in a way that brings you closer to having the love life you want.Follow us @dateablepodcast, @juliekrafchick and @nonplatonic.

Maybe you had a date or a series of them that were fine. You *could* see them again but would also be perfectly OK if your paths never crossed again. But all this does is make you apathetic about dating and seeing them again.

When dating, we're always looking to see if we have common interests as potential partners....but does it matter? In this week’s brunch talk, we’re discussing how a relationship can work if you have different hobbies and interests, the line between accommodating your lifestyle vs. what doesn't matter for the long haul, and how we can reframe what we're looking for to account for the growth and change that's bound to happen in a long-term partnership.Got a question you need answered?
