Online Dating For Old Timers

Episode Summary

My guest today is the lovely Amy Rehagen!  We are exploring our now mainstream world of online dating from a generation who began romancing IRL and have now been thrust into the age of digital connection.

Show Notes:

We are exploring our now mainstream world of online dating from a generation who began romancing IRL and have now been thrust into the age of digital connection. We are going to discuss the acquired taste of online dating, not just how to survive, but how to thrive in today’s fast-paced, distraction-filled and sometimes isolating world of technology and romance. And we’ll probably hear some really great stories along the way!  I'd like to note that I said the wrong name in regard to The Law of Fuck Yes or No.  It was not coined by Marc Maron, it was coined by Mark Manson.  I like Marc Maron for lots of reasons as well so they are both worth a listen to!
