Boo Up or Hook Up? Dating in Today's Modern Culture

The Seeds You Sow

This week on the podcast we kept the conversation fun and light by discussing what it’s like to date in today's modern culture. In a time where people can be quick to make generalizations about men, women, and dating, we thought it would be refreshing to stop the stereotypes, break the division, and create a safe & fun space to have an open conversation about how people feel about dating. This is the first week in which we did not highlight any specific articles, and instead offered our own opinions and experiences. We also made an effort to recognize that our individual experiences do not represent the entire culture, and encouraged our listeners to approach every new dating experience with an open mind, a willing heart, and without generalizations and tainted perspectives. Our conversation was well rounded, and we discussed the various perspectives on dating: from those who are looking to hook up and others who are looking to commit, people’s preferences in reference to online dating apps or meeting people in person; first date suggestions; the importance of doing self reflection and understanding yourself; understanding your love language; and finally, understanding your intentions as you begin to date and meet new people. Overall, different perspectives were offered, laughter was shared, and we provided insight, reflection, and hope to the single folks out there who are looking to connect and build with a significant other. We hope this episode makes you laugh, brightens your day, and gives you hope for love and a meaningful connection.
