Summary
Today Sarah is talking to Dr. Liesel Sharabi, an associate professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Director of the Relationships & Technology Lab at Arizona State University and co-founder of The Modern Love Collective, and Hily Dating App expert. Dr. Sharabi shares how young daters are navigating dating in the technology era, the best approach to looking for a partner, and steps to take when you're single and what to get back out there. She analyzes the finds of the Hily Dating App T.R.U.T.H Report, and explains why we can be our own worst enemies when looking for a partner, the stress we endure if we start worrying about what our friends and family think of the people we date, and why physical attraction isn't the best predictor of long-term relationship success.

| 0:00.0 | Hello friends and welcome once again to everybody's favorite therapy theme podcast. |
| 0:04.0 | I'm your host Sarah and today I want you to tell me if this is relatable. |
| 0:09.0 | You go on a date and you think it's going to work and then you think this one is going to be different. |
| 0:15.0 | I swear it's going to be different than the last one. |
| 0:17.0 | And wouldn't you know it every single time it's the exact same outcome. |
| 0:20.0 | I hear it time |
| 0:21.7 | and time again from clients and everybody's always wondering, why does this happen to me? I did that |
| 0:26.7 | for so long. I always date the same guy. These patterns keep showing up. And at a certain point, |
| 0:32.4 | you have to wonder, is this just bad luck? Or, I don't know, maybe is there something that I'm bringing in that I haven't actually |
| 0:39.6 | looked at yet? |
| 0:40.8 | And then you're online and it seems like everyone out there is meeting people and going on |
| 0:45.0 | dates and finding options and we're just like missing out. |
| 0:49.1 | But as I learned and as we're going to talk about today, the reality is a huge percentage |

| 0:59.3 | everyone's walking around feeling like, you know, they're not doing enough or they're not good enough |
| 1:04.4 | or they're not dating enough. So today's episode is all about cutting through the BS and helping you actually know if you're |
| 1:12.4 | ready to date again. |
| 1:13.4 | We're going to talk about what to work on before you get into a relationship and how to date |
| 1:17.9 | in a way that doesn't just repeat that same old pattern, but it actually gives you a real |
| 1:22.1 | shot at something healthy. |
| 1:23.4 | Hello, we love that, right? |
