Modern dating can feel exhausting. On one hand, there’s the
seemingly endless swiping that leads to dating app burnout; on
the other, there’s what can feel like the insurmountable
challenge of meeting someone in real life.

But what if finding love is less about fate — and more about
strategy? Dr. Laurie sits down with behavioral scientist and
dating coach Tim Molnar, author of Date Smarter: A Strategic
Guide to Navigating Modern Romance, to explore what the research
really says about how to meet the right person, build
genuine connection, and avoid common dating mistakes.
