Chapter 4: What challenges do single parents face in dating?
Hi, Amber. Hi, Laura. Welcome to an unlikely affair. Welcome everybody to another episode of Unlikely Affair. I am so excited because I have my dear and close friend, Sabrina Zohart. She is a dating expert, which is so funny to me, that word dating expert. You just teach people how to be good frigging humans, ultimately. So I am so grateful that you're here and I'm so excited.
Let's jump into this conversation because I have so many questions and so many people wrote in and... let's do it. Yeah, I know.
And trust me, when I say it, I feel a bit like a douchebag when I'm like, I'm a dating expert. I'm like, I don't, I try to help people come back home to themselves so that, you know, I was talking to Ryan yesterday saying, I don't even know that I love the relationship part of it because I want to help people build a solid foundation so you don't need help in the relationship.
You already have the tools and the safety built early on so that you can have the healthy and successful relationship. So let's help anybody who needs it.
Chapter 5: How do past experiences shape our dating patterns?
Yeah. And that's why I said, I feel like dating experts and I don't want to take away from your credibility, but because I know you and you're so much cooler than a date. That title, you're just a cool person and I'm so grateful to have met you. Sabrina, you've helped me so much in the dating space. And I think last year there was a lot of
questions and conversations on how to navigate dating and the apps. And I kind of feel like everyone's like ready to like turn the chapter and talk about a new conversation when it comes to dating. Because for me and my journey in dating, it wasn't about not having a hard time matching with people, but it's like, what do you do after you match? Right?
And like, are people really seeking a relationship? Or are they just seeking someone to hang out with or have a few fun one night stands? So where do you see dating in 2026?
I think it's a double edged sword because I think you're right. I think we are itching for something new.
Chapter 6: What are the signs of emotional availability in a partner?
I remember, God, I'm going to age myself, but I remember when dating apps came out when I had just moved to New York and everyone was like, what is this? Like, what do you mean? It's like match with something. OK, Cupid came out and there was the most beautiful people. Everyone was cool and fun. Like I was going on so many dates. That I remember just being like, this is the best thing ever.
And then the pendulum swung to the other side where then it was filled with these bots and people that were fake or but sometimes escorts, which is pretty wild to think. But I think we're getting back to a time where people want more in person. Right. I think we're itching for that. But there is a caveat to that as much as we want that. Right. That's why I hate if he wanted to. He would.
Chapter 7: How to navigate dating after a divorce?
I think we all want a lot of different things. But what I am seeing now is a couple of things that we want immediacy, right? Like I need to know within the second that we meet, do you want a relationship? Do you want a relationship with me? Do you want one in the way that I want one? Right? It's very specific. It's very like Amazon. I need it delivered to me within two hours.
Otherwise, it's not worth it. I'm not saying everybody, but I am saying that's what I see a lot. Or this inability to handle rejection. Listen, no one wants to be rejected, right? Whether that be your career. I don't think either of us love to get the emails of, sorry, you didn't get this.
Chapter 8: What is the difference between attention and affection in relationships?
Or we gave it to somebody else. But that's part of it. And I think we've been okay with that in certain environments. And then when it comes to relationships, when you go on a date or two and it doesn't work out, or you have to make that awkward phone call or the text, we see this crumbling of our self-worth. And so I think if we're going to get back into real life, which I'm so down, right?
I'm not saying everything has to be on dating apps. Then I think we also need to be okay with it not working, with having to put ourselves out there, with putting ourselves into environments, right? Like I don't drink alcohol. I'm not going to go to a bar to meet somebody, right? Like that's probably not where I'll be going to match with someone.
But I think we have to be okay with disappointment. And I think that to me has been the lost art of where dating is going is because we're getting more and more into this, I'd rather just be single. And to me, I hear that as more being avoidant than anything else, because you're going to be rejected. You're going to have people not work out. But it's not about the ones that don't.
It's about finding one person that does.
Yeah, I mean, for me, I guess you could look at it as like a numbers game. I remember my dad always telling me is like, it's kind of like the lottery for auditioning. But in dating, it's like a numbers game. You have to just date and you have to have that really thick skin and be able to take rejection.
And being able to take rejection, from my experience, is about being regulated as a human being, knowing that just because someone doesn't you know, match with me or we don't share the same values doesn't mean I'm broken, doesn't mean I'm unlovable. And it literally is, you know, I know people say it's an inside job, but it really is. You have to just be completely regulated as a human.
And that is something that you have definitely taught me how to do through the past few years.
I want to even say how normal and human that is, right? That we are going to be regulated and dysregulated. We'll have peaks and valleys and we'll have moments where you're crying on the floor because you can't do this anymore. But then you wipe away the tears, you get up and you say, yes, I can. And like, I know for me, I have ADHD. My speech is a lot faster than the average person.
My brain processes differently. So I could look at things in a very different way. Does that mean it's bad? No, different just means different. It doesn't have to be that we attach these narratives to it. And I don't know about you, but I see this a lot where we want to identify with something, right? I'm autistic. I'm ADHD. I'm all ADHD now, which is the new thing.
