I have something really cool to share today,
This is a conversation I had with Jay Shetty for his On Purpose podcast, where we talked about the modern dating dilemma of endless options and the fear of settling. We discussed the danger of always looking for “someone better” as a dating strategy, why we miss out on meaningful connections, and how to find a real relationship rather than optimizing for the perfect partner.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re always torn between chasing someone exciting or someone who brings you peace, this episode will help you create a love life that actually works for you.

0:00.0 | I've come to really believe in life that if you find a connection that has all the right raw materials |
0:07.0 | and you both have the same level of commitment, then you can build something extraordinary. The thing I hear the most, and I asked my audience and my team a lot of questions before this interview |
0:35.9 | because I know a lot of my |
0:37.9 | audiences dating, trying to figure it out. And one of the biggest things which we touched on here, |
0:42.2 | but I want to ask you about is that people find it overwhelming with the number of options |
0:47.5 | they have today. And I've spoken to friends who are like, well, this guy's great, but maybe |
0:53.3 | there's someone greater, right? And we're constantly |
0:55.4 | living in this. They're good, but maybe they're 50%, and maybe there's a 51, and then maybe |
1:01.5 | there's a 79, and maybe there's a 99, because I can see someone else over there has a 99. |
1:07.1 | And so we keep second guessing, even the person in front of us, even if they are fulfilling our needs because of the overwhelming number of options. |
1:17.1 | So how, when you said you felt at home and, you know, I think that's what people want to feel. |
1:21.6 | They want to feel at home. They want to feel more than safe. |
1:24.7 | But how do we know or what have been the best signs and indicators that people |
1:29.5 | can look out for that they're actually making things harder for themselves by wishing, hoping, |
1:34.7 | wanting someone else? Or is that a sign that you're not with the right person that you feel |
1:39.8 | that there is someone who has more? It's such a tough question because I think it's, it's, |
1:45.0 | sometimes we're wanting something else because there's, |
1:50.0 | you know, the person that's in front of us isn't compelling enough. |
1:53.0 | There really is something lacking in that relationship. |
1:58.0 | But I do think we have to ask ourselves what are the things I really must have for an |
2:03.5 | amazing relationship like I for me when I when I was going to ask Audrey to marry me I literally |
2:10.5 | called up a friend and told him and he was like you know why are you doing that I'm just curious |
