The Dating Coach: "My Dating Life Was a Dumpster Fire", How to Break Free from Your Situationship Cycle & Why "Opposites Attract" Doesn't Work
In this episode, we sit down with Ilana Dunn — host of Seeing Other People, one of the New York Times’ top dating podcasts — for a brutally honest, refreshingly real conversation about modern love, heartbreak, and everything in between.
Before launching her hit show, Ilana was the voice behind the content at Hinge, helping to shape how an entire generation approaches dating. Now, she’s built a community of listeners who come to her for advice that actually makes sense — the kind you wish your friends would give you when you're deep in a situationship spiral.
This episode dives into what really happens when you go through big changes in a relationship, how to tell if you’re actually ready to date again, and why “opposites attract” might be the biggest dating myth of all.
Whether you’re tired of the dating apps, stuck in a “what are we” loop, or just craving clarity — Ilana’s insights will leave you feeling seen and way less alone.
This episode offers valuable insights on:
Navigating big changes in a relationship without losing yourself
Why we fall into situationships (and how to break the cycle)
The real reason opposites don’t attract — think Venn diagrams, not magnets
How to know when you're actually ready to date again
If your love life feels like a rollercoaster, this episode might just be the thing you’ve been looking for.
