0:00.0	Hello, everyone. And welcome to another episode of Date Yourself Instead. I had to scrap the
0:07.3	whole beginning of this episode because it's pouring rain outside in New York City. I was super
0:13.6	late to the studio today and I went to sit down on the couch and there's this giant pipe next to me
0:21.4	that was running water like from the roof, I guess. And it sounded like there was a waterfall in the
0:27.5	background of the microphone. And it was like blasting in my ears and I couldn't focus and I
0:34.0	have the worst ADD. So I was like, okay, I have to move. So I ended up moving to the other side of

1:36.4	have a really good connection with someone, you're emotionally invested, you're emotionally attached
1:41.4	to them. You don't want to give it up because it might be good. It might be something, you know,
1:48.0	super special where you've built a connection and memories with this person. This person could have
1:53.4	played a fundamental role in the development of your character. This could be someone that you're
1:58.0	married to or this could be someone that you met randomly at a party thinking that you were never
2:04.0	going to find anyone and then you fell in love and you dated for two years and now things are just
