Is It Possible To Date Slow In The Dating App Era?
Show Notes

If you're over hookup culture and want to build a deeper connection with someone, this is the episode for you! Today I chat with Love & Relationship Expert, Dr Lurve about how to sloooow down with dating so that you can build a connection first. 

The questions we answer in this episode: 

  • What are the pros & cons of modern dating (dating apps in particular)?
  • It seems that dating has become a bit of a numbers game - should we be looking at quality over quantity? 
  • What is the "slow dating" trend?
  • Is "slow dating" the antidote to hookup culture?
  • There are a lot of dating rules (who pays, when it's appropriate to sleep with someone, etc). I recently dated someone at a much slower pace and felt the connection was a lot stronger by the time we did sleep together. Do you think we all need to just slow down & get to know each other first?
  • What would be your top tips for slow dating? Is boundary-setting important? Do you need to be honest upfront that you're going to be spending more time getting to know the other person?
  • What are your dating predictions for the future?
