Summary
I’m joined by a 30-year-old man from Washington, D.C. who shares what his dating journey has been like since it began when around 27 years old. We hear about how being bullied in school ultimately led to anxiety and self-confidence issues that held him back from putting himself out there in the dating world. He shares what he learned from working with a dating coach and a matchmaker, the feedback he received from his dates that helped him improve, how he navigates not being able to use his phone during the day due to his government job, and how he’s developed a growth mindset and tries to be upfront and work on his issues head-on.
