I Hate Dating Apps

Let's be honest—Valentine's Day is a commercial holiday designed to sell flowers and overpriced dinners. But even if we know that, it still stirs up emotions, especially for those who are single. For this special Valentine's Week episode, hosts Daniel and Jinah sit down with two top relationship coaches to explore the question: How do you get someone to fall in love with you? If you've met someone you really like, what are the best ways to build attraction and connection? What common mistakes should you avoid? And perhaps most importantly—it is even worth all of the effort? Joining the conversation are dating experts Lisa Copeland(@lisacopelanddatingcoach; https://findaqualityman.com/) and Mike Goldstein(@ezdatingcoach; https://ezdatingcoach.com), who share their insights on attraction, love, and authentic relationship-building. �� Topics Covered: ✔️ The psychology of attraction and emotional connection ✔️ Do's and don'ts when trying to spark romance ✔️ Why forcing love might backfire—and what to do instead Whether you're single, dating, or just curious about love and relationships, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you navigate the modern dating world.

We've all had it happen to us: you strike up a great conversation with someone on a dating app, and it looks like it SHOULD be heading to a real-life date. Except it doesn't. Why, oh why do people - who are presumably on the dating app to DATE - want to text endlessly instead? Or worse - ghost you when you suggest actually meeting IRL? Jinah and Daniel are joined by two guests: Kari Mendoza - @808golfergirl and Alex Min - @alexsmin as they try to get to the bottom of this WTF conundrum.

Do you long for the good ole days before we had dating apps, when finding your match was an IRL event? In this episode, Daniel and Jinah chat with matchmaker and author Cassindy Chao (@matchmakercassindy). Her book, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Love, uses traditional Chinese proverbs as a source of modern dating advice. You'll want to check out Cassindy's advice for standing out on the apps, including her advice for how to make an impression that lasts, long after the date is over.

YESSSS! Jinah and Daniel are officially in year TWO of their podcast! And in this debut episode of season 2, you get to know us a little bit better. The dynamic duo muses about topics like whether dating for marriage even makes sense anymore, how growing up Jehovah's Witness shaped Jinah into who she became (and maybe explains why her dating life is a hot mess), and how Daniel used to make money off of cannibis and young, hot Korean boy bands (it's not what you think, people). THANK YOU for supporting our baby podcast and for having fun with us as we navigate this crazy world of dating apps!

Dating apps suck for everyone, but it sucks even worse if you're introverted and socially anxious. So what is one to do when the idea of getting dressed up, going out and talking to someone for hours at a bar or restaurant sounds worse than a root canal?? Jinah and Daniel talk to writer and relationship coach Cain Parish (cainparish.com, @cainparish), who is on a mission to make dating better for everyone, but especially introverts. Cain was the definition of a low social battery introvert. Interactions and relationships never came easy to him. He talks about how he overcame his challenges, and how he managed to successfully navigate the world of dating apps. Did we mention he's from Australia? Apparently dating apps suck Down Under too.

So you're about to delete your dating apps. Again. But then you realize - how am I gonna meet people then?? Before you panic and re-install your dating app, listen to our two professional matchmaker guests talk about what it's like to have someone literally working for you so you can go on curated dates. Hint: it ain't cheap!! Matchmaking is as old as civilization. From the days of highly prized matchmakers who knew just the right princess for the king-to-be, to glossy ads on airline magazines adverstising beautiful women for men with refined tastes and deep pockets, matching has now evolved. But does is still work in the DIY world of dating apps where the majority of people are looking for romance via swipes? We talk to 2 modern day matchmakers Gina Hendrix @matchmakerginahendrix and Anika Rashaun @nikarashaun

To delete or not to delete…that was the question facing our guests @laylamyarr and @susan.pappas. Tired of bad dates, endless messaging, and misleading profiles, they were resigning themselves to permanent single status when lightning struck! Check out our newest episode and hear what happened right when they were about to give up!

Sometimes, women just need to DISH on all the things we find wrong with dating MEN on the apps. This is that episode. With guests @marialingbanan and @mayleeshow
