Dateable: Your insider's look into modern dating and relationships

As we grow older and wiser, what we want and need from a relationship can shift dramatically. We're chatting with Rob about his journey from dating people that he knew weren't long-term potential to how he became more intentional with his dating life to meet his now partner. We discuss the changing definitions of what it means to be in a relationship, the importance of certain qualities as we age, and why all the people who didn't work out are here to help you out in the long run.Follow Rob @onthecheaptip on TikTok & YouTubeFollow us @dateablepodcast.

When another date or budding relationship doesn't work out, it can feel like a sucker-punch in the stomach. You start to question what you're doing wrong and if you're destined to be alone forever. Trust us, we get it and we've been here ourselves too. On this week's brunch talk we're talking about what rejection really means, why it keeps happening, and how this can actually be a great thing if you choose to see it that way.Got a question you need answered?

With the racism from COVID-19 and the rise of Asian hate crimes, it's been a scary time to be Asian American. But how does this extend to dating? We're finding out as we chat with Janet Wang about how her experience has changed over the last couple of years. We discuss the need to be with someone who understands us culturally, how the future of interracial dating may look different, and ways to be an ally to AAPI friends and dates.Trigger Warning: We discuss Asian Hate CrimesFollow Janet @janetdoubleu and @asianbossgirl and check out her podcast 'Asian Boss Girl'Follow us @dateablepodcast.

Is there a way to navigate the wage gap in a way that still makes both partners feel like equals? On this week's brunch talk we're chatting love and money and how it plays into the future together. So grab yourself a mimosa and let's chat as we go through some of the scenarios of how to make it work (or not).Got a question you need answered?

As cliche as it sounds, the right person can be right around the corner....or maybe even someone you already know. We're chatting with Trace about how he started over after ending a 12-year relationship only to propose after 3 weeks of dating one of his newfound best friends. We discuss knowing when to think things through vs. take a leap of faith, what marriage, love, and commitment mean in today's day in age, and why friendship is the foundation of any relationship. Follow us @dateablepodcast.

When it feels like you're always the third wheel or the only single one in the group, it's tough to not be jealous that your friends found their special someones. For this week's brunch talk we're diving into it all from validating your feelings in a way that still allows you to want the best for your friends, embracing and enjoying the various stages of your life (including being single), and reframing how you view being the odd one out.

Even the best of us can start to believe that inner voice that wonders if we’re too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, too light, too dark – whatever it is that gets in the way of thinking we’re worthy of love. But have no fear, we’re silencing the self doubt as we chat with Katie Sturino about how she regained her confidence and rocked the dating game even at her lowest point. We discuss how our earliest trauma still plays into the way we think about ourselves when dating, the importance of “doing the work” even though it feels unfair you have to do it at all, and why it's so damn important to get to a place where we’re truly comfortable in our own skin.Trigger Warning: We discuss abortion rights and the recall of Chesa Boudin in the intro if you need to skip aheadFollow Katie @katiesturnio and check out her podcast 'Boob Sweat', book body talk and beauty line MegababeFollow us @dateablepodcast.

Sex can be so enjoyable yet so stressful at the same time....especially when you're dating someone new. We're chatting with Dean about recovering from erectile dysfunction and what that meant for his sex life. We discuss our societies views on sex and the expectations of men, why not being able to get it up rarely has to do with the partner, and how to get through sexual dysfunctions with your partners.
