Summary
I'm joined by Damona Hoffman, host of Dates And Mates Podcast, contributor to the Drew Barrymore Show, NPR, and The Washington Post, and author of F The Fairytale, a brand new book that you should order right this minute. Damona shares the four biggest dating myths that we need to ditch to find and build healthy, lasting relationships. We debate if we believe in soulmates, what should and shouldn't be on your checklist, why we can't rely on – or ditch – the dating apps entirely, and so much more.
