Is dating supposed to feel this exhausting? In this episode, Dan and Natalie-Tasha sit down with Hayden and JD to talk about the pressure to perform, the highs and lows of being single, and why dating can feel more like a checklist than a connection.

They open up about pulling back from apps, learning to spot shared values, and what happens when you’re always trying to be the “right” version of yourself. You’ll also hear real talk about missed chances, emotional connection, and why compatibility matters more than just chemistry. If dating has ever left you tired or confused, this one will feel like a deep breath.
