Why Dating Apps Feel So Exhausting

Why do so many dating app conversations never turn into actual dates? In this episode of Last Date, Christian and I unpack one of the biggest frustrations in modern dating: why dating apps feel so exhausting—even when you're matching with people. We talk about why so many conversations become "pen pals," why both men and women feel burned out for completely different reasons, and the surprisingly simple things that make someone stand out on Hinge. We also discuss: - Why meeting through friends still beats dating apps - How long you should message before asking someone out- Whether you should confirm a first date - Why ghosting says more about the ghoster than the person being ghosted - How to approach someone in real life without being creepy - The best first dates (and why simple is usually better) - How to stop overthinking rejection and start dating with more confidence Whether you're swiping on Hinge, hoping someone approaches you in person, or just trying to understand modern dating a little better, this conversation is packed with practical advice from both the male and female perspectives.
