Navigating modern dating can feel exhausting. It’s easy to get lost in the fast pace of swiping and online dating. But dating doesn’t have to feel like so much work.  In Episode 386 of The Charisma Quotient, “The Traps Of Modern Dating:  Interview Julie Krafchick & Yue Xu,” Kimmy is joined by Julie and Yue, dynamic co-hosts of the critically acclaimed Dateable podcast and authors of the anticipated book "How to Be Dateable." With nearly a decade of research exploring the intricacies of dating, they have a wealth of expertise when it comes to transforming from confused daters to respected dating insiders.

Throughout the episode, Kimmy, Julie, and Yue engage in a lively discussion on the four main dating traps that ensnare many in today's fast-paced dating scene. From the "expectation of love on demand" to the hazards of "settling paradox," they break down these traps with research-backed insights and personal anecdotes. Julie shares her story of spending over two years in a situationship driven by the need for validation. Yue opens up about her own dating missteps, involving a hiking date and a pair of infamous black socks.  You’ll hear the 3 of them breakdown:

  • Why being grounded and living in the moment is critical to fostering genuine connections and finding lasting love.

  • The importance of focusing on understanding yourself and dating without the expectation of immediate attachment.

  • The specific skills needed for modern dating, such as DMing and flirt texting.

  • How to avoid moving too quickly and ignoring red flags in the desire to form relationships.
