He's a one, by the way.

Dr. K said, one of the reasons that it's harder to fall in love is because the feeling of being in love fills our brain with dopamine.

However, due to our dopamine system getting messed up with social media and all the time that we spend on technology, it becomes neurochemically harder to fall in love.

So what he does is he tells his patients to go for a walk an hour before they go on a date and to not touch any technology.

Well, as you know, I'm a three, so I don't really care about what's happening to you personally.

What I care about is that you're not messaging me an hour before our date to let me know that it's still happening.

So now I'm freaking out.

I'm already done up because it's an hour before our date and they're not messaging me back because Andrew Huberman said don't do that.

Don't message her.

It's more like an assurance thing.

No, it's more like an assurance.

Like I need to tell them, hey, I'm just about to leave.

See you soon.

Oh, I need them to say that so I know we're in it.

We're in it.

Well, that makes sense because your algorithm is always algorithming.

So I guess if you're going on a date with someone and then you see a TikTok of some guy going, these red flags that people always forget and it's describing that guy to a T, then that might put you off.

But it reminded me that as a serial dater,

that i subconsciously have all these rules in my head of things that you should definitely not do an hour before the date so andrew get me on your podcast sculling several glasses of prosecco yes one of them is don't do tequila shots an hour before the day no no because you feel good in the moment but an hour later it can also can skew the judgment of whether or not this person is attractive and interesting i have okay unpopular opinion but this is from experience

An hour before the date, if you see a juicy pimple in your face, do pop it.
