269. Finding Love in Your 30s After 6 Years of Dating w/ Rachel Saslaw

I'm chatting with my best friend Rachel Saslaw, founder of Storytell NYC. She talks about how she spent six years actively dating before landing a committed relationship with an amazing match in an unexpected way. We're discussing everything from why she refused to subscribe to the "men suck" mentality to using dating as a training ground for self-discovery to the "flirting with life" energy that shifted everything. At the end, we tackle a dating dilemma about a guy who went quiet right before a planned first date, then resurfaced at the last minute with a long explanation.

YOU'LL LEARN...

Why hating men won't help you date men (same goes for men dating women!)
How to set a "minimum viable goal" for dating when your calendar is packed
Why the most aligned version of you is the one who attracts the right person
How to give a new person a blank slate after you've been burned
The case for grieving your single years and not racing past them
Why low-barrier first dates (the coffee walk) beat the high-stakes dinner
