Ever feel stuck dating men who seem great on paper but go nowhere in real life? In this Love U Podcast episode, I sit down with Matchmaker Maria, author and dating expert, to break down why chemistry alone won’t get you the relationship you deserve. We share how to identify whether a guy is truly a long-term match—and introduce a 3-part test you can use after every first date: Comfort, Fun, and Attraction. Learn how to avoid time-wasting second dates, trust your instincts, and date with confidence.

If you’re ready to stop settling and start selecting, this candid conversation is a must-listen.
