In this raw and honest episode of Red Flag Radio, host Angelina explores the blurry line between having high standards in dating… and accidentally building walls around your heart.

If you’ve ever said “I’d rather be alone than settle” but still feel deeply lonely, this one’s for you.

We dive into the emotional exhaustion behind modern dating, the quiet ways emotional unavailability can hide behind “empowerment,” and how burnout, past heartbreak, and trauma can make even the most well-intentioned love feel unreachable.

From chaotic chemistry to calm connection, this episode unpacks what it really means to date with discernment, without closing yourself off completely.

For anyone navigating dating fatigue, healing from emotional wounds, or wondering if they’re “too picky” or just deeply self-protective.
