Episode Description
Dating apps are here to stay - and when you ask anybody about their experience with the apps, the consensus is that dating apps are a soul sucking experience. Esther Perel joins Call Her Daddy to discuss why dating apps leave us feeling bad about ourselves and how we can add some humanity back into the process. Esther speaks about managing feelings of rejection, creating unrealistic standards, and why first dates often feel like a job interview. She gives advice on how to change our mindset and behavior on the apps so that we can add some excitement and intimacy back into the dating experience. Esther also addresses the pressures associated with age and dating so that one’s own fears don’t lead to panic or settling. Alex and Esther play Esther’s game - Where Should We Begin - and discuss their own experiences with love, heartbreak and adolescence
