Jared discusses the impact of social media on relationships while answering listener emails about dating experiences.

Later, a widow’s date asks if she’ll “compare all future partners” to her late husband. We’re calling it a major red flag! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
