Dating is sooo different now, are we right? Coming off the heels of the #metoo era and currently slapped in the middle of a global pandemic (that makes seeing and coming in contact with people impossible), meeting “the one” has legit NEVER been more complicated than it is now. We have author and former guest Jon Birger back again to discuss his latest book Make Your Move, why hetero women who make the first move with men have an advantage (especially in the #metoo era), why online dating has proved so disappointing and sometimes dangerous for many women, especially during COVID times and how to make your move offline!
