Session 7: Dating & The Single Life

Listen Later

Dating and the single life is an episode around what it’s like to be single in this day in age, and start dating! As always, we asked YOU for any questions you might have about starting therapy, and as per usual you guys came through =D

We thought hard and long about each question, and here is the final product!

In this session, we cover:

  1. Assumptions around age, marriage, and children
  2. How our society is obsessed with dating/love life/sex life
  3. How to cope with never being in a relationship/no one is romantically interested in you
  4. The portrayal of reality TV shows and dating
  5. Does anyone have a relationship like the movies?
  6. Is there such a thing as a soulmate?
  7. How to juggle all the advice everyone has around dating?
  8. How to handle family members who question why you are single/not dating?
  9. Gender norms in relationships - can a girl make the first move?
  10. How to navigate liking someone, but them not liking you back.
  11. DATING APPS! Is there another way to meet someone?
  12. How to handle ghosting.
  13. How to avoid/be aware of co-dependency.
  14. Combating loneliness - wanting a relationship but also being content being single.
  15. Is it normal to not want a relationship?
  16. How to process/grieve an ex you’re still hung up on.
  17. How to deal with single friends who are jealous when you are dating.
  18. Are all first relationships a mess, irrespective of age/life experience?

    19. We always welcome feedback and want to hear about your interpretation of the episode! What did you like? What did we miss? What would you like to hear more of?

    Dating is a tricky thing and it continues to change and evolve! If you’d like to share a story with us, we’d love to hear it.

    As always, thank you for being here! We are eternally grateful!
