Summary

In this episode, I sit down with the creators of UpDating Brandon Berman and Harrison Forman. We discuss everything from how they match couples for blind dating, if people who like to talk need other people who like to talk, how much people care about looks, the law of attraction, putting yourself out there, date horror stories and more! This episode starts with a solo where I discuss how to know if a relationship isn’t working even if it’s healthy, what to get for Valentine’s Day, and being friends with an ex.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a DR Media Production.
0:06.4	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met It Actually. I just want to say thank you so much for all your
0:11.7	insanely kind messages. After the episode last week, I had opened up about my breakup and I
0:20.0	was just so grateful for every single one of you. I don't know how I got so lucky to have such
0:26.5	incredible listeners to this podcast, but men, women, everyone who reached out was so, so kind.
0:37.5	And I'm just feeling very lucky that I'm able to feel comfortable sharing things with you guys
0:45.4	and that you react to them so much early. And I don't know, I'm just, it really, really helped me.
0:53.2	And I feel like I could have easily regretted sharing it for whatever reason. And I don't.
0:59.9	And I'm grateful. So, so thank you guys again. I'm just gonna, we have a really exciting
1:07.0	episode today with two awesome guys who founded updating, which not gonna tell you too much because I
1:14.4	want you to listen, of course. But before we get into this, I'm gonna ask a few of your questions

1:32.4	which is topical. Someone said, if not dinner, do you acknowledge Valentine's Day at all to someone
1:38.4	you've been seeing for one month? Um, yeah, I think it's nice to acknowledge it. Either you, I guess,
1:45.7	go to dinner, but you said, if not dinner. So if not dinner, I would just say at least happy
1:51.7	Valentine's Day. I hope you're having a great day and like eating lots of chocolate or depending
1:58.4	on where you live, maybe you can drop off some, some of their favorite candy or whatever vice versa.
2:04.2	But I think not acknowledging it is kind of weird and a red flag. Even though it's this holiday
2:10.3	that's so annoying and basically created for you to feel guilty or bad. Friends with X does it work.
2:18.0	I would say no, not really. I haven't personally found that being friends with X's has worked.
