Dating Dilemmas Podcast

This episode is one of our favourite episodes so far, we’ve been wanting to release this episode for some time now and we have tonnes to talk about. With the boom in dating apps we are often speaking to multiple people at once, which ups the probability of being ghosted. If we’re honest the terminology of ghosting is fairly new to our vocabulary, it seems that the fast paced nature of the dating scene has left us in the position of ghosting people or being ghosted. There is a massive scale when it comes to ghosting, it could occur in the early stages of talking to even a few months down the line. In this episode we are joined by Aaron Roach Bridgeman as we talking about the 21st century ghosting phenomenon.

There’s a phrase that’s often used when dating and people say ‘you’ll find someone when you’re not looking for it’. Although manifesting doesn’t necessarily mean you are looking for it, you’re visualising and vocalising what you want in a partner. In this episode we give further insight into how to manifest your partner and how to get into a mindset where you can attract someone into your life. We spoke to Kristina who gives us the 101 on all things manifesting.

Joel Corry and MNEK are onto something with their single ‘Head & Heart’. When it comes to decision making the head and heart offer conflicting advice. The heart is aligned with feelings and the head often showcases the more logical reasoning. In the dating game there may be moments where we are stuck and not sure whether to follow the head or heart and in our latest episode we discuss what the head and heart mean. We talk about our experiences, as well as what to do when you’re caught in the head and heart dilemma.

It’s been twelve months since Boris Johnson put the UK in a nationwide lockdown and it has had a massive impact in many areas of our lives. From March 2020 to where we are now, the lockdown has not only impacted our views on dating but the way we date. In this episode, Nayha and Remina reflect on the last year and talk about what they’ve learnt and their experiences. From adapting to a more virtual dating world to how some lockdown introspection allowed them to reassess their views on dating. We were also joined by our previous guests who sent us voice clips of what they’ve have learnt.

Similar to friends, family plays a massive role in our lives. It can often cause conflict when there is a disagreement and the family disapprove of the person you are dating. It might be because of a superficial reason, such as they don’t like the way the person looks/ presents themselves. Or it could be more deep routed within their personality and they may pick a fault in their values or personality. In our episode we discuss the weight of family opinions and how it can impact the dating experience and relationships.

Rejection comes in many forms and when it comes to love, it can often hurt the most. Whether you’ve been rejected or you’ve rejected someone else, it can be difficult being on either side.

This week we talk about our own stories when it comes to rejection and we are also joined by our guest Daisie Belle.
