Why Modern Dating Feels So Hard (And How to Do It Better) Feat. Talia Koren
from You Will Be OK · host Sabrina Bendory
Modern dating can feel confusing, exhausting, and sometimes even hopeless — but does it actually have to be that way? In this episode, I sit down with Talia Koren from @Dating.Intentionally to talk about the reality of dating today. Talia started her podcast after realizing she was actually enjoying dating while so many people around her were miserable — and she wanted to understand why. We talk about the idea of a “dating recession,” how the pandemic shifted relationship expectations, and why women today are prioritizing emotional intelligence and connection more than ever before. We also dive into the difference between passive dating and intentional dating, how to spot emotional availability early, and why consistency is one of the most important green flags to look for. If dating has been feeling frustrating or discouraging, this episode will help you approach it with more clarity, self-awareness, and confidence.
