Love-ly: Exploring Modern Relationships

How to Date Intentionally: Politics, Patterns, and Planning with Talia Koren


Listen Later

It's Lovely's first anniversary! 🎉 To celebrate, Mehak (⁠⁠@whathemehak⁠⁠) sits down with Talia Koren, creator of the Dating Intentionally podcast, to discuss what it really means to date with purpose.

Talia shares her unconventional dating journey—150 dates with 64 people in 10 months—and the surprising patterns she discovered by tracking every single one in her Notes app. From navigating political alignment in today's climate to unlearning toxic dating advice, this episode rethinks common assumptions you thought you knew about dating.

In this episode:

  • How to ask about political values without turning dates into debates
  • Why tracking your dates can reveal your self-sabotaging patterns
  • The text-first debate: does it really matter who reaches out after the date?
  • Why expecting your partner to meet every need sets relationships up to fail
  • Whether you're actively dating, taking a break, or just curious about relationships, this conversation will make you rethink what "dating intentionally" actually means.
