When the dating pool feels more like a lukewarm puddle, and the effort-to-reward ratio just doesn’t add up... you might be dating from a high horse. In this episode, Tim & LeeAnna wade into the frustrations of modern romance – where expectations soar, options underwhelm, and no one’s driving 30 miles for emotional fast food. Tim also unveils his Seven Concentric Citadel Walls™ – a noble (and possibly overbuilt) model of how we let people in, one wall at a time.
From “do I even want to be around you?” to “can I introduce you to my friends” to “er, can I take off my pants?” – it’s a journey. Get ready for some tough truths, nervous laughter, and the eternal question: Are they really worth the Uber fare?
Alchemy is still ad-free. Because your emotional epiphanies shouldn’t be brought to you by discount mattresses.
