Do you feel like your expectations are too high? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. Listen in on this amazing conversation with Damona Hoffman, who's been a dating coach for over 15 years. We talk about her new book, "F The Fairy Tale" and the four dating myths, specifically the myth about dating rules. I love what Damona has to say about embracing the messiness in dating, how expectations set us up for constant disappointment and why being realistic isn't the same thing as settling. We also talk about dating apps, dating outside of your race and navigating familial and cultural expectations in dating.
