We often hear 'dating is like a job' or 'dating sucks'....but it doesn't have to! We're chatting with positive psychology coach and play expert Jeff Harry about how to see dating as play and have more fun in the process. We discuss how shared experiences form deeper connections, why playful doesn’t have to mean surface level, and how anyone can turn on their playful side at a comfort level that works for you.
