A Relationship Scientist Explains Modern Dating (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the past year, I've been sitting down with singles and talking about how they're navigating modern dating. And the same questions keep coming up. Why does someone come on incredibly strong, only to suddenly pull away? Why do people behave like they're in relationships but refuse to define them? How much should we trust the “spark”? So I traveled to New York to sit down with Dr. Marisa Cohen , a relationship scientist, psychology professor, and licensed marriage and family therapist, to find
Why Is It So Hard to Leave a Situationship? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with content creator Madi Marotta to talk about situationships and why it can be so difficult to walk away from them—even when you know the person you’re with isn’t giving you the relationship you want.

Alexa tells me about a man she met who seemed to be doing everything right. He was consistent, intentional, excited to see her, introduced her to his friends, and made some surprisingly big statements about where he saw things going. At first, his actions seemed to back up his words...until they
What Does “Effort” Actually Look Like in Dating? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Grayson to talk about something women often say they want from men in dating: effort. But what does effort actually look like? Grayson shares what one guy did on a date that immediately stood out to her—and, on the other end of the spectrum, what happened when a guy she was genuinely excited about suddenly disappeared despite already having their next date planned. We also discuss: - Dating as a six-foot-tall woman - How to approach someone in public
