Why Being Weird Can Make You More Attractive

In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Ashley to talk about something many of us do when we really want someone to like us: we try to be the version of ourselves we think they’ll want. Ashley and I talk about what happens when we do the opposite—when we let someone see the silly, playful, quirky parts of ourselves that we might normally hold back. Those little moments can feel risky, but they can also become the things that make someone uniquely attractive to us and create a kind of connection we don't have with everyone else. We also discuss: The on-and-off relationship Ashley couldn't seem to let go of Why becoming a mom young has actually taken some of the pressure off dating in her 30s What it’s like to talk to someone every night only to discover the chemistry felt completely different in person The difficulty of meeting men organically when your routine puts you around almost exclusively women Her three-year crush on her “Barry's boyfriend”—whom she's never actually spoken to, and our plan for finally getting her to talk to him Her mom's unsuccessful attempts to get her married What if the parts of yourself you’re tempted to hide are actually the parts someone else is going to fall for?
