262. When You Don’t Feel Attracted Right Away (How Long To Wait)

About this episode

Talia Koren discusses how attraction works in long-term dating and answers listener questions.

In this episode, I'm covering how attraction actually works when you're dating for a long-term relationship, from how to know if you're attracted to someone and what's "enough," to how long to give it before walking away, to how attraction can grow over time and what it actually takes for that to happen. I'm also answering a few listener questions, and at the end, I tackle a dating dilemma about a confusing Bumble interaction.
