Lots of people have a hate-hate relationship with online dating and believe it’s responsible for their love life woes. But online dating isn’t inherently good or bad. It’s just a neutral space, like a bar or the workplace.

I find that people likely manifest their online dating experience based on their larger relationship pattern which brings me to my caller today, Erin. She’s frustrated because she’s unable to replicate the online dating success her friends enjoy and wants to know what she’s doing wrong.
