As we grow older and wiser, what we want and need from a relationship can shift dramatically. We're chatting with Rob about his journey from dating people that he knew weren't long-term potential to how he became more intentional with his dating life to meet his now partner. We discuss the changing definitions of what it means to be in a relationship, the importance of certain qualities as we age, and why all the people who didn't work out are here to help you out in the long run.
