Dating isn’t meant to be difficult. In the modern world, dating as a stand-alone act can bring joy and adventure into our lives. We get to know people, and we get to feel things, that shape the way we view the world, and ourselves. We venture into new interests and the lives of others in a way that no other experience provides. And let’s not forget the incredible sex.
Dating doesn’t lead to marriage in the traditional way that it used to. Before being seen as the must do step before commitment, dating now has become the new bar – literally – like meeting in a bar. We now use dates to ask the banal questions that before we’d squeeze in between margaritas. We meet cavalierly on an app, and then meet in person for the first time on the date, making the world of dating an evolutionary process is sexual selection and compatibility.
Although it has changed leaps and bounds from its humble beginnings of courtship, dating in its raw form is meant to be fun. It’s a way to invest a little time into getting to know someone new and creating new experiences along the way.
Luckily for single listeners, dating doesn’t have to be embarked on alone. There are numerous podcasts to help you navigate the world of dating a little better and these are our favorites.
