Host Pat Barbarito is convinced that the secret to healthy relationships is rooted in scientific research and credits our good friend Dr. Duana Welch with showing her empirical evidence that explains – and can often predict – the behaviors of humans seeking lasting connection. In this ‘best of’ retrospective, we highlight some of Dr. Welch’s research and recommendations featured in our trilogy of episodes and invite you to: 

• Dispel the popular dating myths that plague modern society but actually set people up for a lifetime of broken hearts; 
• Get comfortable with the discomfort of online dating and find the fun in the journey; 
• Increase the odds of correctly identifying your significant other among all the unsuitable matches; 
• Embrace the two must-haves that guarantee a successful relationship; 
• Learn how the most captivating online profiles are created and which photos make them even more memorable; 
• Understand how and when to take an online interaction into the real world;
