Being single can offer so many great opportunities and freedom…but sometimes it feels like that phase of life overstays its welcome. Brendan McCauley and Matchmaker Madigan Maere dive into the frustrations they hear from people who are ready for relationship, but struggle with the question, “Why am I still single?”

The “seasons of singleness” are not periods of life with any less value than times of relationship. This episode offers practical tips for preparing yourself to date well, and advice for how to be confident in your singleness if the right person hasn’t come along yet.

Standing out in a crowd can be daunting, but it might be exactly what you need to find the right person in your life. Speaker and author Jason Evert lays out the importance of being clear with your intentions. That can be scary, and may scare off others…but perhaps it’s best to scare off the ones that aren’t meant to be in your life.

The topics of chastity and exclusivity might often cause eyerolls, but is the pendulum swinging? Are devotion to commitment and safeguarding our boundaries the modern keys to successful dating? All that and more on this episode of Intentional Dating.

What does it mean to be dateable? Chris Meehan, a marriage and family therapist, talks through what it means to be the kind of person you would want to date. Psychological development can affect our behavior more than we realize, from reinforced insecurities to childhood trauma. Working through our own story and learning to live in our identity, we can learn what it means to authentically “be yourself” and be ready for relationships.

We discuss questions of masculinity, whether couples really complete each other, the types of attachment styles, and more. By understanding what makes us who we are and reasons behind our habits and emotions, we become better prepared to meet others by meeting ourselves first.
