Why date one person at a time when you can be more efficient and overlap? This episode covers all things circular dating, which is meeting and getting to know a few people simultaneously before deciding who to commit to. I talk about why it's beneficial, how to do it without hurting anyone's feelings or getting exhausted and I share YOUR reasons why it might not be a good idea, just to balance it out. I also go deep into my personal experience with dating multiple people (again, before committing!).

In today's solo episode, I'm talking about attraction in early dating which comes up a lot.

I talk about different types of attraction, how many dates to give it if you don't feel attracted and how to navigate attraction in general.
