Have you heard of the whole feminine and masculine energy framework in dating? If you haven't, I'm sharing examples of the type of dating advice you'd hear if you go down the rabbit hole of tapping into your feminine energy to attract a masculine man. In this episode, I cover why this dating advice makes dating more complicated and causes us to overthink. There's one part of this advice I do like, which I talk about as well. At the end of the day, you get to try different styles of dating advice to see what fits you best.

In this episode, I got to talk to dating creator and author Lauren Josephine about what she learned during her decade-long dating journey and going on over 200 dates until she met her current boyfriend in an unexpected place online. We get into how to recover from situationships and fantasy relationships that don't pan out, how she got over the ick with her bf, bad advice she took in her journey and the mindset that works if you want to delete dating apps. Lauren provides so many useful nuggets of information in this episode! We also answer a listener's questions about dating post-divorce and what to do when they don't want to date, but want to be friends.

About Lauren Josephine:

She then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in her early 20s and began a decade-long dating journey in which she went on over 200 dates in a tireless search for love. The years of struggle, frustration, and loneliness eventually inspired her to write a book to help others feel less alone on their dating journeys. Lauren's mission as an author and a human in the world is to be an advocate for single people everywhere by validating just how emotionally taxing a modern dating journey can be. Her writing offers the encouragement, comedic relief, insight, and solidarity that every modern dater deserves in their search for love.

Have you ever dated someone for a while and wondered, "what are we?" Going from just dating to "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" or whatever labels you want to use can feel terrifying. This episode covers how and when to have the DTR (define the relationship) convo and who to have it with. I'm also getting into what happens if they're not on the same page, and if you should wait for the guy to initiate the conversation.
