What do you think about the spark?

Does it need to be there right away? Can it grow over time? How long should you give it to develop? Does the spark even matter?

What about chemistry? How does that factor into things? 

What role does attraction play in dating? Both physical and emotional attraction?

In this episode, myself and our guest Lauren Josephine (@lookingforsomethingserious) will break it allll down for you and answer your questions about the ⚡️SPARK⚡️ and more!

I hope you enjoy this episode and please leave a review or rating if you found it helpful! 

About our guest:  Lauren is long-time dater turned dating and relationships author. After going on over 200 dates throughout her 20s and 30s, she felt called to write about and normalize all of the struggles modern daters deal with today, especially when using dating apps.

She recently published her first book called "Looking for Something Serious", in which she uses her 10-year dating journey to discuss the many pitfalls of dating today, like ghosting, situationships, repeated rejection, and losing hope in dating altogether.

Lauren is passionate about sharing practical, optimistic dating advice to help single people build the confidence, patience, and hope they need to not give up on finding love. She is 34 and lives in the Bay Area, California with her fiancé (who she met on Reddit in 2022!) and her dog Winnie.

You can connect with Lauren on Instagram and via her website.
