Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back to another episode of Seeing Other People.

Together, we're navigating modern dating alongside experts and real-life daters who are sharing their stories.

Don't have a date for tonight? No problem. Come learn, laugh, and maybe even cry along with us as we navigate

the dating scene together. Oh my God, you guys, I'm so excited. We are here with Lior Gall,

aka the therapy gal. Leor, I'm so excited to have you. Thank you for being here. How are you doing?

I'm so excited to be here. I'm doing great. You know, today it's like 70 degrees here on the East Coast or or Northeast Coast. And I'm feeling good. I mean, the sun I feel like just like heals all. Oh my God. There's a giant bug. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Sorry. Oh, my God. Barclay. Got to go. Pay your run God. Oh, God. I don't know what to do. Hold on. Hold on. I'm actually going to call much. I'm the biggest baby in the world. Wait, how big? What kind of bug is this? It's not that, but it's like an earworm thingy. Like, I hate, I can't. Like earwigs thing? I don't know. It's like long and skinny and... Sorry, this is really embarrassing. What if you kill it? What if you throw a show at it? I know. Is that scary? Yeah. That's scary. Okay.

being here. There's so much I want to talk to you about, but I want to kind of center our conversation

around a very timely topic, which is timely for a few reasons. One, holidays are coming up.

Everyone is feeling a little bit extra anxious, I think, about, you know, going home for the holidays and being single or not having a plus one to bring or to talk about. And it's also, we're deep into coving season. And I think a lot of people feel like they have tried literally everything to find their person and they're coming up empty. And I know I've been there.
