In this episode, Matthew, Stephen and Audrey have a candid conversation about whether dating your "type" is actually helping or hurting your chances of finding love. 

Topics include:

Are you stuck dating your "type"?

  • How being overly attached to your type can blind you to better matches

  • The difference between chemistry, compatibility, and long-term happiness

  • Why your “type” might be based on old patterns or insecurities

The modern fear of commitment:

  • How people get stuck in relationship “TV shows” (endless flings) instead of committing to the “movie” (deep relationships)

  • Practical signs you or someone else is afraid of committing

The dating app “Hobby Dilemma”:

  • How people feel pressured to showcase impressive hobbies

  • Why not everyone fits the “hobby highlight reel” and why that’s okay
