#513 - The Rules of Dating in 2026

Dating in 2026 feels confusing, emotional, and often frustrating because most people are playing without understanding the rules. In this episode, The Rules of Dating in 2026, I break down a simple but uncomfortable truth: dating is a game. Not a game in the sense of manipulation or pretending to be someone you are not, but a game with clear mechanics, predictable patterns, and repeatable outcomes. When you do not understand the rules, you feel powerless, rejected, and stuck in cycles that never change. When you do understand them, everything shifts. You stop taking rejection personally, you stop chasing the wrong people, and you start making calm, strategic decisions that put you back in control. This episode is about seeing dating clearly, removing the emotional fog, and learning how attraction, timing, communication, and behaviour actually work in the modern world. Once you understand the rules, you do not need luck. You just play better, and you win.
