EP 255 — Expectation vs. Reality of Dating in the Modern World

from And How Does That Make You Feel? · host Jack Heyworth

Send us Fan MailAre you chasing the partner you truly want — or the one you’ve been told you should want? In this episode, we explore the growing gap between expectations and reality in modern dating. Through a powerful therapeutic exercise, we unpack how idealised visions of a “perfect” partner are often shaped by social media and cultural narratives, rather than genuine personal values. By reversing the lens and considering what your ideal partner would be looking for in you, this episode highlights the importance of mutual alignment, shared values, and self-awareness. Discover how refining your expectations — rather than lowering your standards — can lead to more meaningful, sustainable relationships.
