| 0:08.1 | Hey guys, it's Lana and welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. |
| 0:13.5 | How are you guys? |
| 0:14.8 | I know you can't answer that, but I feel like sometimes we kind of go through the motions of everyday life and nobody actually |
| 0:24.0 | stops to think about like how they're really feeling. |
| 0:26.9 | And you know, like, it's so interesting. |
| 0:28.3 | We say like, how are you to everyone like every single time we jump on a call, any time |
| 0:32.2 | we pass somebody we know in the street, wherever we are. |
| 0:35.0 | And I was just like, oh, good. |
| 0:40.7 | Like, fine. Tired you. But but like we're never actually thinking about how we are and i think especially when it comes to dating it's really important |
| 0:46.7 | to stop and check in with yourself and make sure you're feeling okay make sure you're feeling |

| 1:28.3 | like if you're in a great place, if you are feeling like you're crushing it, if you are |
| 1:32.9 | feeling like you are so excited about meeting somebody and can't wait to go on dates, |
| 1:38.7 | like channel that and pay attention to that and use that like really positive energy to not only just use |
| 1:47.5 | dating apps, but maybe ask friends or ask coworkers if they have anyone to set you up with like |
| 1:51.2 | if you're feeling really good about something or really good about yourself, use that to your |
| 1:56.3 | advantage. And I didn't plan on saying any of this. I just said, how are you and then realized you guys |
| 2:02.1 | couldn't say anything back. Anywho, I am so excited for today's episode speaking about |
