With dating apps, we have hundreds or thousands of available singles at our fingertips, but we still feel more disconnected, hopeless, and lonely than ever before. Why? In this episode, Megan and Steven unpack the Paradox of Choice, our higher-than-ever dating expectations, and why you should maybe consider “settling.”

In this (rather unhinged) episode, Megan and Steven sit down with longtime friend and longer-time gamer Edward Cruz, who also happens to be a Hyphen Young Adult Ministry Leader. Together they navigate a complex gauntlet of questions around dating as a 'nerd,' videogames and relationships, and how to be truly yourself with potential dating partners. It's wild, it's unpolished, it's DEFINITELY over-caffeinated, so buckle in.
