How to Start Dating When You Never Have ! with Allora Dannon

At 32, writer and self-proclaimed late bloomer Allora Dannon had never been kissed, never been asked out, and had never been on a date. Then one cuffing season changed everything 💛 This week on Ask a Matchmaker, Matchmaker Maria sits down with Allora, author of the new memoir Who Is She: A Late Bloomer's Survival Guide, to unpack what it means to start dating later in life. They talk about growing up as the oldest of ten, learning to prioritize yourself after years of caretaking, breaking through embarrassment, and finding confidence (and community) as an adult beginner in love! Whether you're navigating your first real relationship or just learning to date with more intention, this heartfelt conversation will remind you that it's never too late to bloom 🌷 🎧
