When you're the only single person in the group or you're waiting to get engaged while all your friends are having babies, even the best of us can find ourselves playing the comparison game. We’re chatting with Drew about how he's been down this road before and learned to trust the timing of his own path. We discuss how to approach conversations about your status (especially over the holidays), the importance of celebrating your personal wins even if they aren't the "life milestones", and why it's important to water your own grass when you feel like the grass may be greener on the other side.We loved Drew so much and think he's quite dateable!

We've all been there before: the person we're interested in is texting us yet they won't bite the bullet and make actual plans.

It's hard to make the call to end a relationship, situationship (or even engagement!) that isn't serving you but often the right decision is to move forward on your own. We’re chatting with Deepti about why she chose herself at the alter on Netflix's Love is Blind – and her self-love journey prior to and after the show. We discuss how to deal when you find out your partner isn't the person you thought they were, why respect is so pivotal for your own self-love, and why the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.Follow Deepti @lifewithdeeps and check out her book 'I Choose Myself': https://www.amazon.com/I-Choose-Myself-Deepti-Vempati/dp/B0BD2XPJHHFollow us @dateablepodcast.
