And I can tell you as a single woman, the things, the moments I get most excited about

you know, and this is universal, is when you get talking to somebody and they say they're into the same things.

You know, the strange little isms that you have.

Suddenly somebody says, me too.

And you start to go, oh my God, this is destiny.

This is me meeting my soulmate.

You know, and you can very quickly get caught up in these little moments that are actually constructs that aren't real.

Yeah.

Oh, I always go to India.

I often, I meditate every day.

See, what that does then is that starts to release the oxytocin in your brain where you're imagining both of you sitting in lotus position every morning at 5.30 sipping a cup of chamomile tea.

You know, you start to build the life you've always wanted.

Your dreams start to, your imagination comes to life.

Thank you very much for that reality check.

Yes.

I don't think I have, but I have definitely fallen victim to, and I think again, with the dawn of the apps, I have been sucked in to conversations and first dates.

I can remember one guy I was seeing over here in London and it sticks in my mind because it was just before the pandemic happened.

So it was kind of like

December 19, January 20, February 20.

And I met this guy and it was interesting because he said something like he'd been on 80 dates, you know, within the last year or something.
