Mel Robbins

And finally, our expert has eight questions you need to be asking yourself because based on the research right now, you're probably looking for the wrong person and you're focused on the wrong things.

Today, you and I are going to use data, research, and expert relationship advice to take the frustration out of dating apps and put the power back in your hands.

So let's get into it.

Hey, it's your friend Mel.

I'm so fired up that you're here.

It is always such an honor to spend time with you, to be together.

I wanted to take a moment and welcome you if you're new, because this is one of those episodes that I know is getting shared all over the planet.

And so if you're brand new, welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast family.

And I want to acknowledge something.

You know, look, I'm married, I'm in my 50s, but I want to acknowledge that there is a unique sort of pressure that you can feel when you're in your 20s and 30s.

You know, as your friends start to pair off and you start wondering, am I always going to be the single one?

Am I ever going to find somebody that I fall in love with who treats me the way that I deserve?

And here's what I want you to know.

Whether you're in your 20s or 30s and you're dating, or you're already in a relationship, but you're listening on behalf of one of your friends, or you're a parent like I am, or an aunt and uncle, and you're trying to help your adult kids navigate the dating world, this episode is my gift to you.

We've got an incredible guest in the studio today, Logan Urie.

She is a Harvard-trained behavioral scientist who knows the ins and outs of modern dating.

She ran Google's behavioral science team.

She is a dating coach and teaches people who are single the changes that they need to make in order to find someone that deserves someone as awesome as they are.

She is the director of relationship science at Hinge.

And I'm going to say something right up front.
