#54 "How am I Supposed to Find a Relationship When I Feel Dead Inside?" Listener Question from Bryan, 51

Part 2 on Romantic Hope! Modern Romance is not about flowers and chivalry (though those are nice!) In modern, challenging times, we need to look for the romance all around us; in moments, objects, interacts and more. Turning on this frequency will have you dating differently and living a romantic life regardless of your relationships status.

Romantic Hope - NOT hopeless romantic - It might be one of the most important ideas developed by Lakshmi and The Later Dater today as we enter a new era in dating and relationships. People aren't just deleting the apps, they are beginning to torch the idea of romantic possibilities. So what is romantic hope and how and why is it actually a form of resilience? Tune into the first of several episodes that will explore this topic and this moment in dating.

How about another take on the "open" relationship? For many Later Daters, those early relationships or even just the ones that don't go the distance play a vital role in people opening up and feeling again. Here's another way to think about those ones that came and went and even the ones who stayed for a while.

Follow ups and updates from some of our most talked about episodes ranging from not dating since 1999, feeling dead inside while dating and moving from divorce to singlehood! It's a bite-size goodie!

What if being single wasn't about NOT having a relationship or even looking for one, but feeling like your truest, best self is expressed when you are single? With more and more people actively choosing to be single, this is a great question and topic for Later Daters to ponder. Listen in as Lakshmi discusses another group that is overlooked; people for whom their Later Dater years are THE best years for them to be in relationship.
