Summary

When a relationship ends, or someone stops calling after several dates, do you need to know why?

What does it mean to get “closure” in dating?

As humans we put a lot of emphasis on how things end.

We want answers: “Was it the way I dressed? Is it something about my body? Or something I did that turned you off? Was it too desperate?!”

But what answers are we looking for? And how much brutally honest truth do we really want to hear?

Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson try to figure out whether closure is overrated, what explanation we’re owed when someone leaves, and how we can move on from rejection when it happens.

but have started to fade out or have gone completely only we can't seem to let go of them.

0:23.6

And we feel like we need answers and we feel like we need an end to the story.

0:27.5

And the way that the story did end was unsatisfactory to us and has left us

0:32.3

with all of these lingering thoughts and endless rumination.

0:36.7

So it's a bit of an episode about moving on if you're struggling to move on from

0:39.8

someone. It's also an episode, an episode about insecurity and the kinds of

0:45.4

insecurities that someone fading out leaves us with.

0:49.9

It's an episode about ego and how we deal with moments in our dating lives

And that means that if you have a particular challenge in your dating life,

whether you're single and struggling to find someone you're attracted to,
