I have always believed something wonderful is about to happen. But that’s not the case with my online dating experience. A few articles about lawsuits and algorithms may explain why. Is greed good? Ingrid reads from Jonathan Sacks book, “Morality Restoring The Common Good In Divided Times.” And if you’re having a rough time with online dating or otherwise, a bit of inspiration. (I hope.)

In this episode, Ingrid discusses her online dating challenges with finding men who are emotionally available and who have moved on by using some sort of therapeutic toolbox. She reads from a recent article about forgiveness. She also tearfully reads from Douglas Coupland’s “Life After God”. She address feelings and men and asks, “Can I cry for you?” like Marilyn Monroe did in “Something’s Got to Give” a remake of “My Favorite Wife” (correction: not “My Perfect Wife” ) This really is my favorite (and imperfect) episode to date. It’s the right blend of the arts that I like (books, humanity and film) and vulnerability.

In this episode, Ingrid discusses profile pictures and attracting the guys she is interested in. Ladies! Give a listen. Men! She discusses why men have a harder time getting over infidelity because men are more visual by nature. And some superficial ways to rekindle romance for committed couples. (Usually there is a deeper level of connection that she finds through her couples program.) Trashy.com is currently under construction, but worthy of a bookmark. You get the idea. And why dating in middle age is actually FUN! Love is knowing someone else and being known. That’s always been Ingrid’s favorite definition of love.
