Today, we’re asking a question so many of us whisper to our friends after another awkward coffee date, a half-hearted swipe session, or a ghosting that stings more than we’d like to admit: why does dating suck right now? Dating apps promise endless possibilities, but often deliver exhaustion. Communication feels harder than ever, expectations feel higher, and somehow, even with more options at our fingertips, true connection feels rarer. In this episode, we’ll explore what’s making modern dating feel so bleak — from technology to capitalism, shame to vulnerability — and, importantly, how we can begin to shift our approach so that dating doesn’t just drain us, but becomes a space for curiosity, joy, and genuine connection. So, if you’ve ever thought, “It can’t just be me… dating really is harder these days,” this conversation is for you.
