I'm joined by Maria Avgitidis, aka Matchmaker Maria, founder of Agape Match to chat all things chemistry and compatibility. We discuss if singles are looking for the wrong things, how we should assess first dates, how to meet people IRL, and what you should look for when setting friends up. Maria shares advice on how to approach important conversations like wanting children, finances, and cultural differences. We answer listener questions about seeking intellectual connections, what to do when someone asks you to be official or says "I love you" before you're on the same page, and more.
