From 64 First Dates to Finding Love: How to Date Intentionally ft Talia Koren

Is there a dating epidemic? Are we all doomed in the world of dating?

In this episode, I'm joined by Talia Koren, founder of Dating Intentionally, for a refreshingly honest conversation about modern dating and relationships. Talia shares her incredible journey of going on 64 first dates in 10 months before meeting her husband, and why she was actually having fun while others around her felt miserable.

We dive deep into:

• Why dating feels harder today and how our expectations have evolved
• The myth of "the spark" and why slow-burn relationships often lead to deeper connections
• Why compatibility, shared values, and friendship matter more than instant chemistry
• Talia's story of meeting her husband on a dating app and how she knew he was "the one" (hint: it wasn't love at first sight!)
• How to date intentionally without becoming overwhelmed
• The balance between being too picky and too accepting in your dating life
• Why you need to be "the chooser" instead of waiting to be chosen

If you're experiencing dating burnout, questioning whether good partners exist, or wondering how to navigate the modern dating landscape with confidence and joy, this conversation is your antidote to dating doom and gloom.
