  • The companion episode to this is Episode 19: The Death of The Crush

    Crushes are an incredibly important part our heart's history. As a Later Dater you may not have looked closely at people at moments where you developed a crush. It's worth taking a minute to look closely as these as you embark or keep on keeping on in your dating journey. Ditch the vision board and try looking at the people and moments that already caught your attention.

  • It's been a big week and it will be a big week. Why might it be more important to think of reasons to root for someone rather than trying to figure out if they're right for you? It's time to mention the relationship of the year without having them be the central spectacle. There is honestly something to be learned from the unfolding of their relationship.

    Mentioned in the episode: Lakshmi's interview with Scott Galloway on the Prof G podcast. Where she talks modern dating and reasons why we might think about height differently among other topics in modern dating.

  • Let's discuss one dimension of "age" culture around the idea of what it means to "age yourself". Lakshmi dives into these common expressions that can feel more like we should hide our rage rather than use it as a point of connection; especially between Later Daters. And you'll hear a practical way to rewire whatever you think about your age as she offers new ways to talk about your past in way that is grounded in the present. And wait until you hear about the concept of a "Vintage Story".

  • Let's dive into the gradual decline of everyday organic moments instead of any "resolution" type content, This isn't meant to be a bummer, it's meant to remind you of things we've lost along the way. It's not just tech and the pandemic. And if we understand a bit more about what happened we can tap into some of our 20th Century wiring:)

  • Conversations about modern dating can often revolve around an intense desire to "not waste time". Let's dig into it. As we get older, we might feel like time is not on our side, but maybe it's on our side in a new way.

  • Between the introduction of Tinder and the 2020 pandemic we have a decade of swiping behind us. Tinder made its mark because it brought an influx of singles (20 somethings) into a dating pool that nobody ever thought they'd find themselves in. Now that same demographic but a different generation is rejecting it. What can we learn about how to better accept what dating apps have to offer by taking a closer look at why Gen Z seems to be rejecting them? Lakshmi brings her thoughts to the headlines.
