Dating feels different right now. More confusing. More exhausting. More activating.

In this episode, Samantha Reigle, doesn’t give dating tips or a strategy to “find the one.” She talks about something deeper like the moment where dating stops being about the other person and starts being about a pattern.

Why do you lose interest when someone is actually consistent?
 Why does anxiety spike right when things start going well?
 Why do mixed signals pull you in instead of push you away?
 Why does calm sometimes feel like “no spark”?

From a conflict perspective, these moments aren’t random. They’re portals or thresholds between familiar patterns and new ways of responding.

She explores:

• Why attraction often moves toward what’s familiar, not what’s healthy
• How intensity can get confused with meaning
• What anxiety after a few dates is actually signaling
• How to handle ghosting or inconsistent communication without losing yourself
• Whether opting out of dating is alignment… or avoidance
• How to experiment with new responses without forcing outcomes

This episode isn’t about getting it right. It’s about noticing the choice point — and deciding whether to repeat the same loop or respond differently.
