Summary
I'm joined by a 28-year-old man who shares the story of a short-lived but very intense dating experience that lead him down a path of self-discovery and growth. We hear how their connection was off to a great start on the apps, how it felt like they've known each other forever on their first date, and how they each had a "second date curse" and "third date curse" that they wanted to overcome. He opens up about why she ended it, the feedback she gave, and what mistakes he made that he was able to see in hindsight. He shares his therapy journey, what he's learned, and how he plans to approach dating differently in the future.

| 0:50.8 | hiatus after a year's long worth of online dating, being on the dating |

| 1:01.7 | to a lot of my dating anxieties and kind of just wanted to talk about that last dating experience |

| 1:13.4 | said, the things that you've learned out of it, you know, I think we all go through such ups |
| 1:18.3 | and downs in dating and it's so easy to experience a down and then just feel down about it |
| 1:24.2 | instead of doing something about it. |
| 1:26.2 | And the most important thing that we can do for |
| 1:28.3 | ourselves is figure out, okay, like, why did this happen? And why do I feel this way about it? And |
