"Is modern dating really as chaotic as it seems? This week on Just Between Us, Jennifer Zamparelli brings together three single guests in their 20s, 30s and 40s to explore the realities of modern dating and whether genuine connection is still possible in a world dominated by swipes, situationships and shifting expectations. Helen, 27, offers the perspective of a younger dater who prefers meeting people in real life over relying on apps."
"Doireann in her 30s, reflects on how giving up alcohol has changed her approach to relationships whilst Rory, in his 40s, brings insight from dating both men and women, the rise of hookup culture on dating apps, and the growing belief that something "better" is just one swipe away. Together, they unpack red flags, unrealistic standards, online behaviour, dating fatigue and the shift toward instant gratification."
Modern dating is framed around swipes, situationships and shifting expectations that foster instant gratification and comparison. Three single daters in their 20s, 30s and 40s contrast in-person meeting preferences with app-based interactions. One dater prefers meeting people face-to-face, another describes how quitting alcohol altered relationship choices, and a third discusses dating multiple genders and the rise of hookup culture. The group examines red flags, unrealistic standards, online behaviour and dating fatigue. The conversations highlight lessons about love, self-worth and maintaining connection despite mismatches, false starts and occasional unexpected sparks.
