Episode Synopsis

Is romance actually dead? Or did we just optimize it out of existence?Dating apps promised connection. Instead, they delivered swipe fatigue, situationships, and a generation that's forgotten how to ask someone out in person. 79% of Gen Z reports dating app burnout. Tinder lost 594,000 UK users in one year. We explore the psychology of choice overload, attachment theory in the digital age, and whether romance can survive when we've turned it into a performance. Plus: real stories of people falling for chatbots, the return of analog dating circles, and what "intentional dating" actually means.This episode is for you if:·       You're exhausted by dating apps but don't know what else to do·       You've been in a "situationship" and felt like you were losing your mind·       You wonder if people even know how to date anymore·       You're curious about AI companions (but scared to admit it)·       You want hope - but not the bullshit kind!
