How To!: Find Love Where You Least Expect It

Camila is torn. She wants a partner. Someone who is ambitious.
Someone who is financially secure. Someone who checks in with her
at the end of the day. But most of her dates have turned out to be
duds and she’s starting to think she’ll never find real romance.
Should she keep searching for ‘the one,’ or should she focus on
being happy on her own? On this episode of How To!, new co-host
Courtney Martin brings in Samhita Mukhopadhyay to guide Camila.
Samhita is an author and feminist. She was the executive editor of
Teen Vogue and her first book was about dating. She has a ton of
smart advice for understanding the narratives we have around
dating, expanding where we find love, and ultimately healing our
hearts.  If you liked this episode, check out: How To Ditch
